All solutions above didn't solve the problem in php5.2.12.
I'm using Korean Windows7 and failed to print japanese characters.
But my system could print Korean, special letters(like â), and the characters that are used in
both Korean and Japanese.
For example, é is used in Korean and é is used in Japanese.
Then my system prints only the former.

Its a problem in PHP general.
This could have been solved with PHP 6.0 (general multibyte support).
There are some workarounds in the internet with the windows console.

Same problem (files with question marks) with Russian files in PHP 5.3.0 on Windows 7.
mb_convert_encoding() can't help converting question marks.
Maybe DirectoryIterator will help.

Hi, have the same problem and my solution is: using mb_convert_encoding.
$open = opendir($path);
foreach( $open as $value )
{
$value = mb_convert_encoding($value, mb_detect_order($value), "UTF-8");
}
If saving file to folder using urlencode. To view using urldecode.

Same problem here.
On WinXP with PHP 5.2.0, using iso-8859-1 as charset for the system (though the filesystem uses
utf-8 for folders/files names).
I need to access folders whose names are encoded using UTF-8.
readdir/scandir won't allow me to do so (returning '?' for characters outside the
system charset).
The page is served like this:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
So the browser really isn't at fault.
Serving the document with a more specific charset is not an option since I have to display texts in
many different languages on the page.
As moleary at preg dot org suggested, it would be really nice to have an option to force PHP to use
a certain encoding while accessing the filesystem. Or maybe, make it so that it uses the same
encoding as the filesystem instead of defaulting to iso-8859-1...
