Dolphin filename bug [SOLVED]

In dolphin 15.12.1-1, it displays filenames with accented names incorrectly.
Here is an example:
Resum (March 2015)
The filename should show:
Resumé (March 2015)

Here is a dolphin screenshot:

If I try to open files like this from Dolphin:

Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder /home/john/Dropbox/Resum (working).odt does not exist.

Also, the file displays correctly if I change the filename from another file manager.

Any ideas of how to fix this?
This was not happening in my previous installation.

Maybe just downgrade it in order to have a working version?  Further, I would report it to the KDE bug tracker.

[EDIT]  I just reread your post, and realized you wrote it was working in a previous installation, not version.  I would check locale as arojas suggested. [/EDIT]

Check that your locale is correctly configured

Re: Dolphin filename bug [SOLVED]

OK so I made an uncharacteristic mistake during my Arch installation.
Apparently, I never created /etc/locale.conf
I created /etc/locale.conf:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE=C

Problem solved!
