Until I find a good answer to that, as well as making sure all the characters 
in a file's/folder's name are displayed correctly, I carefully avoid names 
including french accentuated characters (I also avoid spaces for a different 
reason)
Actually I dont remember having ever encountered the problem of unrecognised 
names because of non ascii characters right away (on the machine the 
files/folders were created) but only when transferring those to/from another 
operating system (or even linux distro IIRC). [is is your case too?]	
Therefore, since the problem is likely to developp unnoticed for a long time 
it is important to give proper warning.
When you have only a small number of cases I think the simplest thing to do is 
to manually rename them.
