I rename sit using proper Greek letters but as it appears to you it also appears to me via Chrome.

Also this is how it looks like via linux cmd listing:

Why doesnt the name of the ?

file doesnt appear in proper Greek letter neither from cmd nor for Chrome too?
It's no wonder files.py cant decode it in 'utf-8'

How can i make the filanems appear properly or at least decode from byte strea,m to utf-8 properly so they can be opened via the python script without error?
