Hello, Bacula does work with Unicode names. It works in UTF-8 (Unicode), which is what all Unix/Linux machines typically use as a default as well as MySQL and SQLite. I've seen some cases similar to yours on PostgreSQL, where it is apparently using 16 bit Unicode. I suspect you are using PostgreSQL, and if so you need to reconfigure it to use UTF-8. When you figure out how to do so and get it to work, please let me know so that I can add it to the document.
