For Example my user directory is named "Miłosz" and in the build path, it is converted to Milosz, build fails with "C:/User/Milosz/AppData/Local/Temp no such directory."

It's something that needs some testing/analysis. We'll look into this and get back with conclusions. Not sure about build tools support when it comes to Unicode chars inside paths. Some parts of Eclipse might also not work as expected with such paths.

Meanwhile, please attach support information (Help => MCUXpresso Save Info for Support) after trying to build a project that eventually fails.

I think you mean 11.9.0 and not 11.9.4?

Anyway: I'm avoiding non-7-bit-ASCII characters in paths or file names, as it only causes troubles with the GNU toolchain, e.g. include paths and other path or file related things.

What you could use instead on windows: use the 'subst' command to create a virtual drive letter to your projects, e.g.

subst p: C:\User\Milosz\myProjects

and then use the P:\ driver for  it.
