emacs seems not to handle utf-8 filenames at all, regardless of locale.

Zip files treat filenames as byte arrays, so zip tends to be clumsy when you get zipfiles created on legacy systems.

Allthough advising a switch to vim is probably more responsible, a quick seach revealed this link: http://linux.seindal.dk/item32.html > Has anyone any illuminating comments to make?
