I do not use Windows, but I recall somewhat relevant discussion on
planuml recently:
https://orgmode.org/list/5d7eba13-b717-a12a-5f89-7d2c9414917e@gmail.com

It seems that plantuml might have some issues with UTF unless you pass
relevant command line args.

Did you try to run plantuml manually from windows cmd using the
problematic path?

Best,
