unicode filename problem on both gnome and kde

[gokhanmoral]

files or folders with unicode characters cannot be fetched or used.

reproduction method:
creating a file over onedrive web with the name "THIS_IS_TEST.txt" with content "test1" can be displayed with gnome text editor or kwrite.
creating a file over onedrive web with the name "THİS_İS_TEST.txt" with content "test2" cannot be opened.

creating a folder with letter "İ" in onedriver folder creates a folder on onedrive and it can be used over web, but the same folder cannot be used on neither gnome files nor dolphin.

additonal info:

on terminal, somehow autocompletion works on fetching the file. but when I type in the filename manually, file cannot be fetched.

gm@fedora:~/onedrive$ cat THİS_İS_TEST3.txt 
test3
gm@fedora:~/onedrive$ cat THİS_İS_TEST3.txt
cat: THİS_İS_TEST3.txt: No such file or directory
gm@fedora:~/onedrive$ 

in the first one, the file is selected with auto completion (writing 'TH' followed by a tab press)
in the second one, I typed the filename using Turkish keyboard.

Is the "İ" character a turkish one? Either way, I think this might be related to the naming conventions issue mentioned in #387.

yes, it is a turkish character which is not available in ISO-8859-1 but it is in ISO-8859-9. and no, it is not a disallowed character in none of the windows filesystems. it is usable in ntfs as well as onedrive. I suspect that the representation differences in utf-8, utf-16 and single char using 8850p9 might be causing the problem.

Hmmph, I see. Hopefully @jstaf or @abraunegg have something else to say on this regard.

@foopsss , @gokhanmoral
I cannot comment on how 'onedriver' operates.

The 'onedrive' application I maintain and develop checks compliance against a number of specific items (as per current development tree 'alpha-5'):

• Check path against Microsoft OneDrive restriction and limitations about Windows naming for files and folders
• Check path for bad whitespace items
• Check path for HTML ASCII Codes
• Check path for ASCII Control Codes
• Validate that the path is a valid UTF-16 (ISO/IEC 10646) encoded path & does not contain invalid UFT sequences
