Do try ``ls -N``. What do you see?

OK, you don't have any locale whatsoever set up. What linux
(distro+version) is it? Another post by you says debian unstable.
Great, it's recent so there should be no problems setting up a UTF-8
environment. If anybody knows some canonical way to configure this on
debian, chime in now.
First thing to try: launch ``xterm -u8`` and do::
python -c 'print u"\N{HEBREW LETTER ALEF}".encode("UTF-8")'
Do you see an Alef?
Second thing: set up (in your `~/.bash_profile` or somewhere in
/etc)::
LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
Arrange a Hebrew keyboard (e.g. by ``setxkbmap -layout us,il``).
Now try creating and listing Hebrew texts and filenames. Does it
work?
