The following code works for me with files with korean characters (are unicode characters). Please try it and let me know if it works.

       ...
       if (this.IsDirectory())
       {
          OpenFileWith("explorer.exe", this.FullPath, "/root,");
       }
       else
       {
          OpenFileWith("explorer.exe", this.FullPath, "/select,");
       }
      ...

    public static void OpenFileWith(string exePath, string path, string arguments)
    {
        if (path == null)
            return;

        try 
        {
            System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
            process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
            if (exePath != null)
            {
                process.StartInfo.FileName = exePath;
                //Pre-post insert quotes for fileNames with spaces.
                process.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format("{0}\"{1}\"", arguments, path);
            }
            else
            {
                process.StartInfo.FileName = path;
                process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
            }
            if (!path.Equals(process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory))
            {
                process.Start();
            }
        }
        catch(System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception ex) 
        {
            FormManager.DisplayException(ex, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
        }
    }
