If you mean that other applications deal with filenames in the UTF8
encoding, this is expected. The shell is broken in the sense that it
supposes the on-disk encoding is the same as that of the locale.

As the shell is unlikely to ever be fixed, the only solution if you want
to use both a shell and GUI applications is to use an UTF8 locale (or to
set G_BROKEN_FILENAMES, but this is not recommended).

Cheers,
