Help! File Name Encoding Repair redux

[TenThousandThings]

As you all know I've been tinkering away in my spare time, learning about what has changed since I was last focused on these things. Without going into detail, I'll just say I've been making adjustments to the character sets page (I've been uploading the progress -- it's mostly up-to-date now).

Anyhow, a search for 中文標準交換碼 led me to this site:

http://code.web.idv.hk/cns11643/cns11643.php

Which led me to this site:

https://data.gov.tw/dataset/5961

The ZIP download there is a folder loaded with good stuff, including massive fonts, glyph images, and assorted data for CNS 11643. I don't have much to say about it, but there is a minor problem that I didn't know still existed. All the file and folder names (the ones in Chinese) inside the Open_Data folder are garbled. The contents of the files are fine. It's just the file names in macOS 10.13.3 High Sierra.

I have Windows 10 running in a virtual machine, and I can read the file names in there. So it's a macOS problem. Does anyone have experience with this?

Hi Eric,

I can confirm similar in Chinese files I come across every so often. Unfortunately I can’t remember the exact circumstance. Will keep an eye out for them in future but yes, macOS is not perfect yet.

If you use the default Archive Utility app, the file and folder names will be mangled, but if you use Unarchiver, RAR Extractor Lite or BetterZip (and probably a lot of other utilities), they show up nicely.
