Which programme is not recognizing it? You've emailed bug-coreutils, 
which is a list for GNU coreutils discussion. If the problem lies with a 
different application, we probably won't be able to help.



What to do?


Please phrase the problem in a way that helps us to reproduce it. At a 
minumum, always consider the following questions when asking for 
support:

- What did you do?
- What happened?
- What did you expect to happen?


Cheers,

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
It's the PuTTY.exe that is not recognizing the French accents. Your 
e-address was given for help.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
sima

Unfortunately you have not provided enough information for us to help
you.   You didn't indicate what program you used, how you used it,
what result you expected, or what result you got.   You mention a
programme without identifying it, so I am somewhat at a loss to
understand what problem you are describing.   Please try to be more
specific when asking for help.

At this stage my best guess is that you have configured your system
for the UTF-8 character set, but your filename is actually in
ISO-8859-1 or a related character set.  But in the absence of detail,
this is just supposition.

James.
