No idea, I haven't used Windows for many, many years.

 

I assume you copy and pasted the name including the dot from somewhere, instead of typing in the utf8 character? If so, if the source you copied it from isn't utf8, the pasted result isn't.

Thank you, I learned something today

 

I don't think it's a WIndows issue, Windows displays the file correctly from qbittorent.

 

Windows doesn't display it, qbittorrent does. In the same way a browser is capable of displaying unicode. That is unrelated to the characterset the OS uses.

That means that if you create files from Windows on the box (for example to define torrents) you have to use an editor that explicitly creates utf-8 files, as the OS can't.

 

Transmission itself, and the linux filesystem you use are utf-8 compliant, so that is not the problem.

 

The internet is littered with users having similar issues related to something in the chain not being utf-8.

 

Looks like you are right, I once again added file to transmission and this time it created it correctly even though putty still shows question marks.

But I wonder why, in putty translation menu I have selected utf8 by default

I don't think it's a WIndows issue, Windows displays the file correctly from qbittorent. Also I skip windows completely when I add the file to transmission client. Transmission also can't download the file. I will try to play with another image maybe

In my case no matter what I do I see question mark. If I connect with WinScp I see question mark, ls, cd, etc all show question mark for me. Not sure what's wrong.

Also if I remove the file and add the torrent file to transmission to re-download again, it will be stuck at 0% downloading forever because it simply can't create the file.

Yes exactly, now if you try to delete the folder and you start typing "rm Vale" and hit TAB button, in my case instead of finishing the name of the folder, it clears the line in putty, like it doesn't like the name with this character.

Also because of that, transmission doesn't see that I'm seeding this file correctly.

I hope it's an easy fix with locale or coding

Also all you have to do is simply copy the dot to clipboard and type in putty, it should change it to ? immediately.
