Non-ASCII file names are numeric values on Konsole/Terminal after upgrage

I updated Manjaro and now all Non-ASCII files names are numeric values in Konsole/Terminal, but when I look same files with KDE’s Dolphin everything looks like normal.

Hi @tux-86,

Are all the neccessary fonts installed? I don’t know which, specifically, but mine is:

Check the character encoding in both konsole and dolphin. The default should be utf8.

In Linux, the default locale is C if no other locale is specified, so this explains why the ASCII character map is used by the default.

The system locale can generated and can defined with these instructions Locale - ArchWiki

In the case of the KDE, the file ~/.config/plasma-localerc is also relevant.
