<p>It is usually things like curly brackets and em-dash characters
that make it into paths.</p>
<p>If your European characters are coming through your don't had
CP-1252, probably using CP-1251 (see potential alternatives here

Problems will only occur if any unique CP-1252 characters are used in

that's interesting.. from the CP1252 table in Wikipedia, for which
characters would you expect to see problems?
German 'Umlaute' äüö, or the 'ß' character are correctly displayed across
platforms, both in filenames and digikam internal descriptions. Same for the
Euro currency symbol "€".
