Screenshot grabber bug

Description
Windows 10 build 1803 64-bit
ScummVM 2.1.0git6767-g05de8819ba (Aug 30 2019 14:25:33)
By default, the ALT+S screenshot grabber writes sequential images to the "ScummVM Screenshots" folder inside the Windows "Pictures" folder.
However, when I try to get several screenshots this way, the same shot ("scummvm000.png") keeps being overwritten by ScummVM.
After being unable to get new screenshots, I edited the scummvm.ini file and added the screenshotpath variable, pointing it to a normal folder like "C:\Games\Screenshots\". The screenshot function then started to behave correctly, taking several shots in sequence instead of overwriting the same file.
I'm guessing here, but maybe the problem is related to my Windows profile name, "Leviatã". If you can't see the last character, it is an "a" with a tilde "~", very common in the Portuguese language. The default pictures folder path includes the profile name, something like "C:\Users\Leviatã\Pictures". Is it an Unicode character, perhaps ?

Thanks for reporting this. Nice job troubleshooting!
The unicode character is indeed the relevant factor and I reproduced this.
