thanks for caring, but ATM I really don't need UTF-8 support in OpenBSD
and on level 7. My only problem is that a user creates files with the
wrong names, and then can't "find" them later. It's a (his) web app, so
no terminal/scim/...-stuff is reqired here - it's really only the
ability to handle UTF-8 filenames properly, and saying that OpenBSD
won't interfere with any file names which comply with the rules Otto
mentioned, imho amounts to saying that the problem is created somewhere
within the application area, starting with his required
"infrastructure" (eg, some apps from the ports tree), or even outside
(farter awawy) of that.
