my only feedback on this topic is that I work with linux commandline and I have 
problems typing characters that are not on the international keyboard.
Today I still can run
~~~
openocd -f target/*1879*.cfg
~~~
and for the other file I type "1986" and auto complete it with TAB.
No big problems for the moment, but if in the future we get other files without 
any ASCII character in the name, I will be lost.

The Linux kernel has the documentation translated in few languages in 
Documentation/translations/ but the file names are strictly ASCII and use the 
same names of the eqivalent English docs. So no suggestions from there.

**[tickets:#435] Broken file**

Hi maintainers and contributors,
Please remove 
https://github.com/openocd-org/openocd/blob/ad216136180e0cd482f414eb072c9dd25dd1c559/tcl/target/1986%D0%B2%D0%B51%D1%82.cfg
 or 
https://sourceforge.net/p/openocd/code/ci/master/tree/tcl/target/1986%D0%B2%D0%B51%D1%82.cfg
 from the repository. Many tools can't cope with these special chars in it. 
Which results in extraction errors if someone tries to extract a zip with this 
file and OpenOCD in it.
Also some file system tools don't like them and fail to display the file name 
correctly.

(This is not the reason for the ticket but it would be reason enough: it's 
Russian and contains a link to a Russian {.ru} web site. If you don't support 
the war against the Ukrain I it would be nice to remove any links {and in the 
same act support for special products from them} to them from your software)

And here is some example on a Windows system how an error of a library which 
failed to extract the zip look like: `scripts\target\1986??1?.cfg` as you can 
see the special chars broke the path.
