I missed something: VFAT stores filenames as unicode (whereas FAT only supports byte filenames). Well, VFAT stores filenames twice: as a 8+3 byte strings and as a 255 unicode (UTF-16-LE) string (UTF-16-LE). On which OS do you access this VFAT file system? On Windows, you have two APIs: bytes (*A) and wide character (*W). If you use the wide character, there is explicit encoding at all. Linux has two mount options to control unicode on a VFAT filesystem: "codepage" for the byte filenames (use Shift JIS here) and "iocharset" for the unicode filenames (I don't understand this option). Anyway, both systems support unicode filenames. I suppose that Shift JIS is used to encode the filename in the 8+3 byte string form.
