FWIW: In Germany you run into those filename encoding problems all the
time, esp. when using Windows shares on Unix.

It is not uncommon at all to have all user files reside in a user folder
with accented characters or Umlauts.

And the story goes on: if you then have set Unix to a different locale
(and encoding), it is possible to have Unix create file names on the
Windows share that don't look right when viewed on other Windows
machines.
