There might be a name suggested by the server (which will only be incorrect if the name was already broken before), but this exchange is fortunately standardized in Unicode. That being said, I still think the whole thing is a complete mess in Linux. It was supposed to be solved by the switch to Unicode, but somehow the issues keep popping up.

Any application has this issues (e.g. the system is set to unicode UTF-8, but the application runs in a different encoding). However, currently the only app I have issues with regarding encodings is LMS, so there might be something to it (but it's a certain combination of OS/Perl/LMS - others will work). Still, it's annoying (e.g. if I save a playlist which contains umlauts in LMS, it will fail to find the files when the playlist is loaded afterwards), so my "solution" is to not use special characters in file names at all...
