    Because you would need to know the code for å in all kb layouts, on all OS’s,

    WTF!? Why would you ever need to know that!?

      So, you create a file with the name containing å. Then you send it to another person. They want to handle it via the command line. Because it’s more efficient. So that person needs to know said information.

        Most people never type a full file name on the command line, they normally just use file name completion.

        And if they happen to have a lot of files that are only distinguished by some single character, what would be so difficult about typing that one character then?

          The fact they couldn’t type that one character, on the command line, without those special chars.
