It is possible to have a file/path name with mix of different
characters. AFAIK, starting from Windows 2000, all filenames are
stored in unicode in the disk, whereas before that it stored using
local encoding.

To type a filename with mixed character set, you can copy and paste it
from various sources, or switch the IME (input method editor) in the
middle of typing. If you want to try go to control panel -> regional
 and ... -> Languages -> Details -> Add and select some other
languages for the input method.
