Yes, it is primarily due to AviSynth. From https://github.com/staxrip/staxrip/wiki/AviSynth-Unicode-support-on-Windows-10-1903:

> All AviSynth apps used by StaxRip have a UTF-8 manifest to enable full Unicode support for AviSynth on Windows 10 1903 or higher:

> ffmpeg.exe (Patman Mod)

> On Windows 10 1903 or higher all these apps expect AviSynth scripts to be UTF-8 encoded, ANSI encoded scripts don't work.
