Japanese filename problem

[Jean-Christian Imbeault]

Thanks! You are right.

But is there any way to get the japanese to display on my Linux box?

I'm actually going to use these file in some PHP code but I can't figure out 
how to sort them or similar things because the filenames are "encrypted" ...
