While investigating something completely different today, I came across
this Apple Tech Note, which has a decent introduction to how Unicode is
used and realized in filenames for FSRefs. The whole TN is useful for its
FSRef and FSSpec info, but the section entitled "Unicode Notes" is
especially useful for pathnames:
<http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2078.html#UnicodeNotes>
This item may also be apropos:
<http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/tn2078.html#ReplaceAll>
"The QuickTime and Drag Manager APIs still require FSSpecs, ..."
That was written in 2003, so may not be true any longer. But if it is,
it's a clue about how or why names can become mangled in the Java DnD API.
Just a thought.
