Unicode characters in the installation path prevents the EAP server from starting, especially TransactionManager

Issue

• The installation directory of my JBoss EAP 5.1.2 contains a Unicode character like this /home/JBossEAP/حج/jboss-eap-5.1.2/jboss-as/bin .
  Due to this JBoss EAP server fails to start and it gives the following ERROR inside server.log .

..........

Can JBoss EAP 5.1.2 work from an installation path that includes Unicode characters?

• If so, what needs to be changed to make this possible?
