This must be some kind of misunderstanding: I was trying to help you, not mock your report in any way. So please do tell what is the value of `default-file-name-coding-system' and please do try setting `file-name-coding-system' to `utf-8'.

Again a misunderstanding, I hope. I was trying to point to a possible way of designing such a feature, not tell that I think the issue should be dismissed. If my response doesn't help you, simply forget I ever spoke.
