I see. Anyway do you foresee any chance of supporting this in the 
future? Or otherwise how about setting the default encoding to utf-8 
(I guess the current one is iso8859-1)?

I did a test using fish. It didn't seem to work. With Tools/Select 
Remote Charset to "Thai (tis-620)", I created a new file with Thai 
name by right click/Create New/File, the file name appears then as 
"??????". 

Next, I tried create a new file with tis-620-encoded filename using a 
Thai X terminal, the fish shows filename using latin characters 
(iso8859-1). Do I miss something here?
