Mac OS X stores file names as canonically decomposed character
sequences (Unicode Normalization Form D).
In a decomposed characters sequence, the character "a umlaut" รค is
stored as two unicode code points.
Java usually works with composed Unicode character sequences which
stores "a umlaut" in a single code point.
With J2SE6 you can convert between normalization forms using class
java.text.Normalizer.
To do the normalization with earlier Java versions, you can use the
Normalizer classes available from the Unicode consortium: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/Normalizer.html
With best regards,
