That did occur to me too.
If I have possible probs with 'funny characters' in file names I usually just resort to remove them / rename in plain English. I've also had probs with symbols in file names, like copyright & registered signs etc.
Just found this on the putty web site:
PuTTY Change Log
"Bug fix: font linking (the automatic use of other fonts on the system to provide Unicode characters not present in the selected one) should now work again on Windows, after being broken in 0.58. (However, it unfortunately still won't work for Arabic and other right-to-left text.)"
And... [These features were new in beta 0.52 (released 2002-01-14): ]
"Unicode support in the terminal emulator. In the first place this allows us to support servers which actually send UTF-8 down their terminal sessions; but the architecture changes also mean that instead of specifying the local and remote character sets in the Translation panel, you simply specify what character set you expect the server to be talking, and PuTTY handles the rest automatically. Many thanks to Robert de Bath"
Sounds complicated to me!
'?' in Windows and DOS means wildcard any character, but never in a file name, if I remember rightly a real '?' as the actual first character of a stored file tells DOS that it's deleted.
