It was my understanding that Java source code is only guaranteed to work if
it's ASCII, but I may be wrong about that. Obviously, though, ASCII
seems the safe way to go. JDK 1.2 may have changed the internationalization
standards (officially or unofficially). Note that there could also be
a limitation in the operating system that prevents filenames containing
such characters, especially with an older kernel version (such as what
shipped with redhat 2.1). In newer kernels, you have to enable the
codepages you want to use (this may have more to do with display than
underlying filesystem).
I was deep in meditation when Vincent Gay-Para awoke me by saying:
