 Description   

Reported by oleg.smirnov some time ago, on Russian Windows.

The error message on localized Windows appears unreadable, as it is encoded in different encoding (Windows ANSI) than the charset specified by client or by server.

The result look like this.

2022-08-05 14:47:31 0 [ERROR] mysqld.exe: Can't open shared library 'C:\MariaDB\10.4\server\bld\sql\lib\plugin\ha_federatedx.dll' (errno: 2, ?? ?????? ????????? ??????.)

Windows error 2 is "file not found", but the message does not really convey it
