The short answer is "yes, remove the Chinese characters", however, I think you were looking for something a little more automatic? If the URL itself is causing the problem, maybe you could use the urlencode() and urldecode() functions to make the filename for the URL web-safe. Another alternative that I've used before is to give each file an entry in a DB and use a moniker to identify the file. The DB can handle all sorts of extra functions in the future, such as allowing only specific users to access a file, storing multiple versions of the same file bearing the same name (on the server each version has a unique name, the user need only know that they're requesting template.doc, version 3, etc) and many other things.
