Hi:

I think I had a similar issue with unzip in Share sometime ago.

If I generated the zip file in Linux, there was no problem, but if I did it with winzip & winrar & 7zip tools in Windows, I experienced your issue when decompressing in Alfresco (expecting UTF-8 characters). The reason seems that these tools do not use unicode. Finally I found a compressing tool in Windows that was able to compress using unicode for the corresponding filenames (Bandizip).

Regards.
