I recently read documents about utf-8 encoding. In all of them, the

which encoding the filesystem uses. So, a filename should probably be
a bytearray.
yes, but a #é should be encoded in two bytes.
As noted in my previous message, "é" could be represented as either one or
two Unicode code points, and these in turn could validly be either two or
three bytes in UTF-8. My gut says that $é should be U+00E9, because
otherwise you should have to use two Characters ($e and $´), but you could
legitimately argue otherwise as well, and at any rate, #é could definitely
be either. This is likely the core of the issue you're hitting.
