https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191540 Jamie Landeg-Jones <jamie@dyslexicfish.net> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jamie@dyslexicfish.net --- Comment #3 from Jamie Landeg-Jones <jamie@dyslexicfish.net> --- With unix filesystems, slap out any 'binary' characters in a filename and they will be recorded 'as is'. So, when you do an 'ls', the filename data is preserved so that if it was originally a UTF-8 encoded name originally, it will still be a UTF-8 name, and displayed correctly on a UTF-8 terminal. msdos file systems don't work this way, and translate the filenames before storing. If the msdos filesystem doesn't know what the original character set is, it won't be coded correctly, and subsequently won't be displayed correctly. You therefore need to tell it on mount what character set you are using, with the -L option: -L locale Specify locale name used for file name conversions for DOS and Win'95 names. By default ISO 8859-1 assumed as local character set. Your test filenames are in UTF-8 fornat, so if you repeat your exercise, but instead mount the partition with: mount_msdosfs -L en_GB.UTF-8 /dev/md7 fat , then everything will work as expected. ....
