Using heat.exe and collecting already localized file names and including them in msi using wix

My question is whether what I'm trying to do is feasible, and if so, how to do it.

I am new to wix and read a little about how to dynamically include a folder in the installer, and in the end I was able to complete a task in nant that uses heat.exe to generate a wxs file and add the last generated wxs file for lighting and candles. This allowed me to add the contents of the folder to msi and subsequently install this folder and its contents.

My problem starts when the folder that I add to msi contains files whose names are already localized (this is a requirement).

When I add a file to the directory structure, which has its name in Russian, for example, which is not 1252 encoded, I get an error message:

[exec] ...... Templates.wxs (65): error LGHT0311: the string was with characters that are not available in the specified database code page '1252'. Either change these characters to those that exist on the database code page or update the database code page by changing one of the following attributes: Product / @ Codepage, Module / @ Codepage, Patch / @ Codepage, PatchCreation / @ Codepage, or WixLocalization / @Codepage.

I tried installing Product/@Codepageon 65001(UTF-8), however this did not solve the problem.
