Hi Dominic, thanks for the clarification. This is a bit tricky b/c the IME and all the other things that the Chinese locale brings with it is quite annoying overall. I decided to rename all the Chinese files I had to unicode using an approach similar to the one described here: https://geekwardnote.wordpress.com/2013/02/08/how-to-rename-chinese-file-to-pinyin/
If I had to do it again, I'd probably use https://github.com/lxneng/xpinyin or another sync tool.
