I've created a file with unicode characters in its name (using Java):
new File(dir, "\u3041\u3042\u3043\u3044").createNewFile();
The file name is stored correctly on disk, because if invoking a
dir.list()
the name is listed correctly.
When opening this directory in the Windows Explorer (German Windows XP SP3),
it shows 4 boxes - which most likely is a problem of the font not supporting
these characters.
When launching 'git status' from the git shell (msys 1.6.5.1.1367.gcd48 from
7zip-bundle) it only shows me 4 question marks. I would have expected to see
the non-displayable characters escaped like it did with the umlauts on OS X.
Even adding fails:
$ git add .
fatal: unable to stat '????': No such file or directory
What should I do to make Git recognize these characters?
Hi
About the 'boxes' :
The thing is, Windows' files for Asian languages are _not_ installed by
default.
They can be installed (even while installing Windows), by checking the
two checkboxes under the "Supplemtal languages support" groupbox in the
"Languages" tab of the "Regional and language options" control panel.
*re-take some breath ;-) *
It will remove the "boxes" in Explorer and display nice Asian characters.
But that will only fix Windows' files' names display, surely not git
(unless I'm mistaken).
