I use qbitorrent on UTF8-localized GNU/Linux system.

net-p2p/qbittorrent-2.9.7 by default (default config, i.e. English interface, windows-created torrent-index) starts downloading into very strange and incorrectly named directory:
/home/user/Ð?Ð°Ð³Ñ?Ñ?Ð·ÐºÐ¸/

Tested versions: 2.9.7 and 3.0.1.

Looks like XDG folder detection fails on your system. Could you please provide:

The content of the XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR environment variable
The content of ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR environment variable is not set.

$ grep XDG_DOWNLOAD ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Загрузки"

And some additional info:
$ cat ~/.config/user-dirs.locale
ru_RU
$ locale
LANG=ru_RU.UTF8
