If you have a filesystem that is utf8only with a specific normalization scheme, then all files will have consistent names. Otherwise, the files could have various odd filenames. I believe the OpenSolaris ZFS manual gives the example that different OSes choose to map the same characters to different symbols, so if you create a file named (eg. - probably incorrect) "ó" on a Mac, you might not be able to access it from Windows because Windows maps the "ó" character to something different. Now that you've extracted the files, I would suggest copying them to a utf8only filesystem with some normalization scheme (I think Napp-It suggests a specific one).
