I would rather say posix filesystems are encoding agnostic. In general,
the file name is just a sequence of bytes not containing zero bytes
('\0') and slashes ('/') and it's up to you to decide what encoding you
want to use, as long as it's not something like UTF-16 or UCS-2 (which
many windows users mistake for UTF-16).
As most linux distributions have been using UTF-8 for everything for
quite some time, file names ended up being in UTF-8 as well. But it's
just kind of an "unwritten law", not a standard.
