Issue or Feature

As the title suggests.

Steps to Reproduce

const { loadImage } = require('canvas')
const myimg = loadImage('あ.jpg')

The results are as follows:

This error originated either by throwing inside of an async function without a catch block, or by rejecting a promise which was not handled with .catch(). To terminate the node process on unhandled promise rejection, use the CLI flag `--unhandled-rejections=strict` (see https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#cli_unhandled_rejections_mode). (rejection id: 1)
(node:23792) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

So is it not supported using Japanese or other languages for a file name? I confirmed It can be reproduced when using Korean or Chinese characters too.
thanks.

Your Environment

• Version of node-canvas : canvas@2.7.0
• Environment : node v14.6.0, Windows 10 Pro x64 version 20H2

I think this is the same as #1704, but this issue is clearer so I'll close that one as a duplicate of this one.

node-canvas doesn't handle multi-byte characters in filenames properly. Fixing this will be somewhat difficult because some of the file operations are in cairo, not our code.

As a workaround, you can pass a buffer to loadImage instead: loadImage(fs.readFileSync('あ.jpg')).
