Have you tried using the utf8 meta tag rather than using the htmlentities()
function? That should solve the first issue, as I reckon the problem lies
with the way your encoding the filename.
It seems that the filenames are ISO encoded as if I set the meta tag
to ISO and remove the

Are you using UTF-8?
Could you be more specific? Do you mean in the browser/php header or
in the filesystem? I created the file on a Windows machine,
transferred them to a Linux machine, and the encoding of the page is
UTF-8.
I just noticed a strange thing which might shed some light. If I

If I am understanding correctly, you are referring to a HTML specific issue
where the HTML and browser configuration is displaying your characters
improperly?
No, the browser is displaying the characters of the filename fine
(using htmlentities converts the ? unknown character into an Â.
Again, if it helps, a link formatted in the same way to the same file
links correctly on a windows machine.

Windows server. This is over my head, too. I'm guessing that Windows

Linux filesystems have far less limitations on filenames, so it could be that

Where is the filename coming from? Is it hard-coded in the script or is your
script reading it from a directory listing?
Have you checked to see if that filename is what you think it is on the Linux
server?
Was Apache the web server both times, or was iis used on windows? If it was,
look for
I think one way to do this is something like this (untested):
This is a good idea, but I'm stubborn and believe it can be solved
without adding more code. Thanks, though, I'll probably end up using
it once I've ruined every other possibility.

The filename is being read from the file via scandir(). File created
on Windows, transferred to *nix.

The character is shown as a question mark in putty. I've tried
forcing a UTF-8 font to make sure it's not a rendering issue but it
didn't seem to make a difference. I'm not convinced the encoding
You say that in putty it is converted to a '?'? so, on linux, the file
name is no longer what you intended it to be, so wouldn't you then need
to call the file EXACTLY as it is on the linux server?
I thought this too at first, but if I run htmlentites() on the
filename it displays the Â
