$ touch $'\xFF\xAA\xFF' $ vi $'\xFF\xAA\xFF' $ egrep foo $'\xFF\xAA\xFF'

All worked fine from my Bash shell with locale encoding set to UTF-8. I can also open the created file from the GNOME editor file dialog (it even tells me the filename is not valid in my locale's encoding). The Nedit editor also worked. So far I haven't found anything that failed.

So what SMB server did you mount here, using what software, and what mount options?

I think you might be referring to an entirely different use case.

Regards, Martin
