Robert,

In poking around the configuration file, I came across the following:

// Allow unicode characters in uploaded files, generated reports, etc.
// This setting is new and not much tested, there are known problems
// with backup/restore that will not be solved, because native infozip
// binaries are doing some weird conversions - use internal PHP zipping instead.
// NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PRODUCTION SITES
// $CFG->unicodecleanfilename = true;

Maybe the solution to your problem is to uncomment that setting. I would be nervous about doing so on my site, though. I would certainly make a backup of the site before changing that setting.

Hi, Robert,

Just guessing here, but I wonder if the "Language Autodetect " setting is enabled or disabled -- http://YOURMOODLESITE/admin/settings.php?section=langsettings . Maybe that's the problem.

Your database has already been converted to unicode, has it not? Perhaps the problem lies there. -- http://docs.moodle.org/en/admin/environment/unicode

If neither of those helps, I hope that someone else can assist you in this!

Regards,
Art
