i have written for myself a small python3 script that removes accented characters and all utf8 "symbols" from filenames, a kind of "utf-8 to ascii sanitizer".
while working on it, i created some strange test cases (e.g. »´ÁÉǑÄ«) for filenames and i was pleasently surprised that the files were created/read/renamed/deleted without problems. is it true to say then, that ffs is entirely "utf8 safe", and/or that ffs is actually "an utf-8 encoded filesystem" as IIRC Mac OS is? or is it some kind of happy accident that it works? :) -f -- mips => meaningless index of processor speed
