Subject: [gentoo-user] Strangely encoded filenames with special characters

1 Hello.
2
3 On my system, I've got some files, in which "special characters"
4 (eg. German umlaute, like äöü or ß) are encoded in a rather strange
5 way.
6
7 Eg.:
8 [2005-04-14 20-17-09] (0766) Sandra mit Cassandra auf Arm, Klinikum Barmen, Tag 23 - Schwarz-Wei�:009f.jpg
9
10 "Schwarz-Wei�:009f" should read "Schwarz-Weiß".
11
12 What I don't understand is, why the "ß" has been (wrongly) encoded
13 as �:009f.
14
15 Why is that happening?
16
17 Thanks,
18
