If the filename has the right encoding, almost always in UTF8 today on BSD/Linux systems, then you can use any UTF8 locales to display the characters correctly, provided the fonts installed and the application can use the fonts.

One common exception is files from Windows, e.g., a zip created on Windows, then the filename will have other localized encodings.

Hope this helps your issue.
