File Names and Directory Names

If file names and directory names that use multibyte characters are not in UTF-8 encoding, encoding conversion is needed. You can use File System Examiner to convert file and directory names from legacy character encodings to UTF-8 encoding. To start File System Examiner, click Launch, then choose Applications -> Utilities -> File System Examiner. Refer to the online Help for File System Examiner for more information.

When you use SMB from the file manager to access non-UTF-8 file or directory names on Microsoft Windows, you can access the non-UTF-8 file or directory names without encoding conversion.
