Description David Tonhofer 2013-06-04 08:10:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
-----------------------

tree does not correctly display internationalized filesnames (in UTF-8)


$ mkdir TEST; cd TEST

$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8

$ touch "Les nouvelles coordonnées.txt"; ls -l

-rw-rw-r--. 1 hobbes hobbes 0 Jun  4 10:04 Les nouvelles coordonnées.txt

$ tree
.
└── Les\ nouvelles\ coordonn\303\251es.txt

0 directories, 1 file


So the bytes in the filename are output "as is" in octal. This might be good feature to have, but then it should be activated explicitely via an option ;-)
And hex would be more appropriate (octal in 2013? I is more likely than you think)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
-------------------------------------------------------------

tree-1.6.0-5.fc18.x86_64

How reproducible:
-----------------

Always

You can use the -N option to tell tree to display filenames byte-for-byte rather than escaping characters.

(The escaping format, using octal, allows easy pasting into a shell.)
