All filenames on unix are whatever arbitrary characters happen to relate
to those names.  So for files named in utf-8, they must be %escaped utf-8
characters, those in iso-8859-1 or -15 must similarly be %escaped.  Of
course this means an autoindex list (or even 'ls' command) is a mess with
filenames of different encodings in the same directory.

On windows, any file is accessible with utf-8 characters, since Windows
filenames are actually unicode filenames.  There's no way to map these
all, except for utf-8.

So the actual href/src link targets must be spelled out in %escaped utf-8
and you'll have no issues.  My personal preference for figuring out the
encoding is just to look at the autoindex output from whatever directory
(unix or windows) that I'm looking at, and cutting and pasting those links.
