Problem:

File dir = new File (path);

With path containing the character 'é'. When I run the application on Windows, the folders are created with the correct names. But when running the application on Linux, 'é' will be replaced with '?'

Any solutions or workarounds?

Are you sure it's not just your terminal that doesn't know how to show non-ascii characters? – Federico klez Culloca Jan 26 '20 at 20:15

This might have to do with the difference in default charsets on each system. You may want to check the output of ```System.out.println( Charset.defaultCharset() );``` on each system separately and compare. – Sree Kumar Jan 26 '20 at 20:37
Please provide a [mre], specifically how `path` is derived. – Mark Rotteveel Jan 27 '20 at 10:59
