Open a terminal and cd to a writeable directory of your choice (which you
can access with Thunar).

Reproduce these commands and see if your results are different:


$ perl -e 'print "\xe2\x82\xac\n"'
€

(this is a UTF8 euro sign printed in the terminal)


$ perl -e 'print "\xe2\x82\xac\n"'|wc -m
2

(this is confirmation that the system knows it's a euro and a linefeed)


$ perl -e 'print "touch \xe2\x82\xac\n"'|sh

(this is to create a file with a euro name, now check what is shown in Thunar)


Let me know what you get.
