The correct behavior is to interpret the command line in terms of the
current locale.  So what is your current locale?

File names are a tricky area in itself.  I think that there is some
normalization process involved in some systems that tries to make sure
that something like an ä will be recognized regardless of whether it is
written as a single character with umlaut or a combining diacritic with
letter a.

I am not sure, but I think Linux does not even try at least on its
native file systems.  No idea how this would work with Windows.
