URLEncoder / Unix

[Chris Baron]

Hi,
would this be a Unix-conform name for a directory ?

%C3%84%C3%A4%C3%9C%C3%BC%C3%96%C3%B6+%3F%C3%9F%26%25-_%21%C2%A7%24%25%26%2F%28%29%3D%3F

i'am planning to use the paths as hyperlinks and the substringed directorynames for Navigation in a webapp.
The above String is encoded with URLEncoder.encode( "������ ?�&%-_!�$%&/()=?", "UTF-8" ) [may some special characters will be displayed different in your Browser]
On windows i dont have Problems to call a directory like this...would i on Unix ?
I don't have Linux machine at hand. Could someone try out, please ?
Thanks cb

Hi,
only in case someone is searching for this:
i found out that you generally may name a directory in unix as you like, but "." and " " could cause Probs. And, of course..., the "/" is reserved.
URLEncoder encodes all special characters except "."
So i may give names with spaces and special characters exept "."
