Thank you :-)

I tried it and now instead of

03 - ????????? ?????????????????????????????? ???????????????
?????????????????????????????? - ????????? ?????????????????????.pdf

the file name shows up in terminal as

03 - ___ ______ ___ ______ - __ _____.pdf

Wondering if I should be using some other locale *not* starting with en_

The language is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malayalam_(Unicode_block)

Also wondering if that is the case can two locale's be used on the
system simultaneously?

Thank you :-)
