No, the encoding was the same -- UTF-8. MacOSX converts one sequence of
Unicode characters to *another* sequence, which are canonical equivalent,
but being canonical equivalent does not mean they are the same characters.
In the same way, as being compatible equivalent does not mean being the
same. As well as, being case-insensitive equivalent does not mean being
the same... Do you remember DOS? It stored all filenames in upper-case,
so they original and stored names are case-insensitive equivalent, but
they are not the same!
