Yes:

```nohighlight
$ cat config/elasticsearch.yml
path.data: "data/弹性搜索"
$ curl 'http://localhost:9200/_nodes/settings?filter_path=nodes.*.settings.path.*&pretty'
{
  "nodes" : {
    "-0Y3YiHARoa7WiKITYQceQ" : {
      "settings" : {
        "path" : {
          "data" : "/Users/davidturner/src/elasticsearch-master/elasticsearch-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT/data/弹性搜索",
          "logs" : "/Users/davidturner/src/elasticsearch-master/elasticsearch-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT/logs",
          "home" : "/Users/davidturner/src/elasticsearch-master/elasticsearch-8.0.0-SNAPSHOT"
        }
      }
    }
  }
