Why are you repeatedly saying that; it's not true, and examples have
been provided. If applications are locale-aware - which is standard
for a long time - you can consistently use what you like.

 
There's no standard locale for a filesystem.

My file system (and obviously also the file systems of others that
are posting here) have no problems with any locale.

The historic architecture of Linux file systems is able to represent
files having file names in arbitrary languages. That's why the Unix
file systems don't show the issues that other (popular) OSes show.

Generally, and specifically if you choose to use international
characters for file names, the prevalent and nowadays the de facto
standard is to use an UTF-8 encoding.

Linux sucks with that.

Okay, noted; you repeat opinions and skip and snip and ignore what
had been already said and shown. (I think it makes no sense trying
to continue a serious discussion with you.)

BTW, the Unix example I posted this morning ("Ölüberschuß.txt") was
done on a Linux system.
