Problem with umlauts in file names



Hi,

I create a new file on Mac OS X 10.4.2 with umlauts, e.g.

 new File("/dir/testäöü.txt").createNewFile();

The umlauts map to following bytes: ä=0xE4, ö=0xF6, ü=0xFC.

Now I read the directory content with

 String[] fileNames = new File("/dir").list();

The curious thing is, that now the file name looks similar, but has a different byte representation: ä=0x61 0x308, ö=0x6F 0x308, ü=0x75 0x308.

Is this a bug in Mac OS X' file system or a bug in Mac OS X' Java implementation? Does someone knows, how to work around this problem (except not using file names with umlauts)? Thanks in advance.
