Hi all,

My guess is that there is a locale setup mismatch, and what happens is:
- filename is encoded in latin1
- kate expects utf8
- kate replaces the non-interpretable characters from latin1 with
� (Unicode "REPLACEMENT CHARACTER")
which has hex utf-8 bytes
EF BF BD
which you see in the hd output:
> 00000010 ef bf bd ef bf bd ef bf bd ef bf bd ef bf bd ef
I have never tried running KDE in a *non UTF-8* locale, that might be
problematic.
I tried to reproduce this with
LANG=de_AT@euro kate
(this is a iso locale defined on my computer) but kate always uses utf8.
So I suggest that you make sure that your locales are properly set up,
and match with the settings of kde.
Best
Norbert
