It's in Ark, but the same happens in Dolphin.

SUMMARY
File names with Cyrillic (UTF-8) letters show as question marks.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. sudo vim /etc/locale.gen
2. Uncomment 4 lines: 2 that regard bg_BG and 2 for en_US.
3. Run sudo locale-gen.
4. Make a file with a Cyrillic name.
5. Reboot and log back in, look at the file.

OBSERVED RESULT

The file name got fixed? Nah, it still stays in question marks. That also gives you an inability to open the file in whatever program.

EXPECTED RESULT

See the question marks as actual letters in the Cyrillic alphabet.

Christoph, was this the thing you fixed recently?
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2019-06-19 14:04:39 UTC
No, but if an archive with wrongly encoded filenames is extracted, it is now possible to rename them inside Dolphin. You still would have to know the intended names.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2019-06-20 06:25:06 UTC
So is this a bug in Ark, or was there something wrong with the filenames, or something else?
