Ugh -- you mean to tell me that the filesystem itself might not know what encoding a filename is in? In that case, examining the directory with "ls" or a gooey file browser would show gibberish, right? Unless "ls" or the gooey file browser is *guessing* what encoding this particular sequence of bytes is probably in. Do any real systems do this?
