This.  Among the examples listed the only one I found convincing was

        Certinomis_-_Autorité_Racine.crt

For test cases, it seems more sensible to just use a tarball, since
restricting oneself to UTF-8 filenames hurts test coverage in the same
way as sticking to ASCII.  But naming files after real entities (like
Certinomis) is both harmless and a good application of a universal
character encoding.
