A text file containing the file names as seen in different applications

SUMMARY
A few months ago I downloaded multiple TrueAudio files. After going through the folders I've noticed that Dolphin has problems correctly showing the name of multiple files. Text file with the file names is attached below.

'ls' in the terminal will show (at least partly) the correct symbols. I also tested with the cinnamon file explorer, which shows similar results to 'ls'

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a folder containing such file as described above
2. look at the file name


OBSERVED RESULT
The file names are gibberish symbols, instead of japanese characters

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin showing the correct symbols/characters

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.10.70-lts
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with Dolphin 25.12.0.

I sadly do not have the files anymore so I would close this issue, unless you want it to stay open for tracking purposes.

But I do have some CJK text files, that do not display properly in dolphin's preview.
I've attached the file and a screenshot of the preview.

Regards

I managed to recreate the issue by copying from my original attachment.
Yes, the issue still persists, I've attached the file.
The file cannot be renamed by dolphin, because 'the file does not exist'.
Comment 7 Paul Meier 2025-12-29 18:17:23 UTC
I cannot attach the file, because Firefox complains about invalid encoding.
So if you want to try yourself, simply run

touch ''$'\343'

The file cannot be copied, moved or altered in dolphin.
