In ARMA3, when using startup parameters that contain special characters like '©', it seems the startup parameter is ignored or otherwise wrongly handled.

Steps To Reproduce
- Create a folder: C:\test©
- Create a file: C:\test©\par.txt content of the file: -noSplash
- Start arma3.exe with parameters: -par=C:\test©\par.txt
Observe that the splash screen is shown, and not actually overriden.
If you try the same but without the '©' character, you will find the parameter works
Additional Information
This does not occur in ARMA2OA, Steam launch method seems suspect (it also seems responsible for cutting off startup parameters after x-length, one of the reasons for using -par)

The special characters are replaced by Steam to question mark. When tested on internal version the special characters works just fine. Looks like the Steam client is altering the parameters.

Steam issue. This is not used anymore as the A3Launcher now sets parameters. So should be closed.
