To display UTF8 (8 bit UniCode) file names, you have to set environment 
variables.  If you have LC_ALL=C (use default language for all LC_*) then you 
need to set: LANG="en_us.utf8".

This would normally be set (on Linux) in the script: "/etc/profile.d/lang.sh".

E.G.:

------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
# /etc/profile.d/lang.sh

LC_ALL-C
LANG="en_us.utf8"

------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------8<------
