Sorry bugging you for this simple command.
ls command displays question marks for the local characters (ones not included in 8859-1 space) in filenames.
ie. [root@server aa]# touch çarp [root@server aa]# ls ??arp [root@server aa]# ls -b #for octal escapes \303\247arp [root@server aa]#
However, ls|less, ls|more or vi <directory name> all display filename correctly. Also, the <tab> completes such filenames in the correct way. Even, logsave command for the ls output prints the right characters.
So, I assume the filesystem keeps the filenames in UTF-8 encoding, but somehow ls can not show them properly.
Any workaround or a replacement for ls? BTW The system is Centos 5.1 and locale shows the encoding as UTF-8.
Thank you.
Works for me.

Interesting! Perhaps it is a quirk of ssh using PuTTY. I haven't tried it on the monitor connected. Did you try in on the monitor and CLI (no X, no Gnome etc)?
