There is no "the" filesystem. HFS may store decomposed, but other
systems may not. And different file systems have a different set of
allowable filenames. Some low-ASCII characters are invalid too.

That might be the best approach, depending on all the usual things. But
'high-ASCII' filenames have been acceptable on the Mac for a very long
time, and do work.
