Write tool fails with EEXIST on paths containing Unicode characters (ö, ä)

Description
The Write tool fails with EEXIST: file already exists, mkdir when the file path contains Unicode characters (e.g., Swedish ö, ä). The tool attempts to create parent directories but its existence check fails on Unicode paths, causing mkdir to error even though the directory already exists.
