Sorry bugging you for this simple command.

ls command displays question marks for the local characters (ones not included in 8859-1 space) in filenames.

ie.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]# touch çarp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]# ls
??arp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]# ls -b                    #for octal escapes
\303\247arp
[EMAIL PROTECTED] aa]#

However, ls|less, ls|more or vi <directory name> all display filename correctly. Also, the <tab> completes such filenames in the correct way. Even, logsave command for the ls output prints the right characters.

So, I assume the filesystem keeps the filenames in UTF-8 encoding, but somehow ls can not show them properly.

Any workaround or a replacement for ls? BTW The system is Centos 5.1 and locale shows the encoding as UTF-8.

Thank you.
