Oops...
The example of such an unicode name used is "écolier-fonts" .

Then consider any user in non-latin1 locale. For example, my locale is Russian. I have no "é" on my keyboard...

Well, I can use cut and paste, when I have a mouse and the text is already shown on my desktop. But what I have to do, when use just the cmdline interface? IOW, without any GUI -- just the Linux console, or remote ssh session? How can I fill the "é" character then?

It seems that the only way to operate with such a filename is to use shell wildcards: "rpm -qa \?colier-fonts" etc.

Does it mean, that the command line interface as well as any other non-GUI core applications are now deprecated? ;)
