Re: Filename issues in KDE... possibly Locale-related
strange thing... I think I might've gotten the Locale fixed. it WAS set to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 originally, but under a suggestion here changed it to LANG=en_US.UTF-8:ISO-8859-1. I have since removed ISO-8859 from my locale.gen and editted my locale.conf accordingly. I since rebooted, and now my filenames all read like they're supposed to, even in Terminal and Dolphin.
my locale output:
[arch@ADA ~]$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE=C
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=All seems to be working well now. I don't know why it didn't read correctly when I originally had it set to just en_US.UTF-8. But now problem's solved 
How do we mark this thread as solved?

Edit the original post and tag the subject line.
Sounds weird but glad it is working.
