I checked the link, but in that case the system locale was different from the TDE language, which is not my case; I also created a brand new test user, it also has the same issue of tofu boxes; even changing the default theme and logging back in doesn't solve the issue, I don't know if it has to do with the customized apps, even with the new user.
What is exactly the font that you use to create this file name? It seems some kind of italic font. Can you check in kcharselect - type the name of the font, so that it loads and see how the chars are being represented
Judging from an earlier message in this thread, they're using mathematical symbols, which happen to look like italic letters in whatever font they're using, to fake italics. They are *not* really letters according to the Unicode standard, and *not* in an italic font in the normal sense, and I would consider using them to substitute for real letters in a filename to be . . . technically not misuse, but a Really Bad Idea anyway. It still shouldn't cause things to break, but I don't find the breakage (or the confusion surrounding it, since the OP seems unaware of the semantics of the codepoints they're using) particularly surprising.
