Who says that file names are supposed to be human readable and this done
in some character encoding ?
AFAIK:
With EXT they are just streams of up to 512 bytes (with 0x00 and '/'
disallowed)
With old style FAT they are just arrays of 11 bytes (maybe with 0x00,
'.' and '\' disallowed) and ASCII characters of lower case and upper
case identical
With "long filename FAT" I fear it's quite complicated (e.g. short and
long file name of a file need to be recognized as identical). But no
unicode here.
