Lukas Lueg <knabberknusperhaus at yahoo.de> added the comment:

The default encoding is UTF8. Even without that there should be no
problems while staying in the same environment as the
character->translation is the same.

However it violates the rule of least surprise to see zipfile throwing
CRC errors because the password is something like 'u?è´´n' and encoded
by some locale-changing-nitwit in korea...
