I just give up to use my mother tongue. I only use 7bit ASCII
characters, for fear some software may fail to handle multibyte
encoding. I may be too conservative but there is a general
implicit agreement among Japanese Linux users that it is not
a good idea to use Japanese for filenames.

This is your preference and risk. BTW, how do you input Chinese
characters on your shell (to handle your Chinese-named file) ?
