Folder path with special characther å does not work


I'm trying to upload a file from a folder with name luleå but FME change the character å with \\xE5 in the folder path and FME cant find the file and terminate the workbench.

Is there something to do so fme does not change the character?

Maybe you can use the DOS filename LULE~1

I have tested it with a filename ὅ1.txt what looks like 1C2E~1.TXT in using DIR /X in CMD. And my FeatureReader is able to read the file.

The DOS filename will work. But we have an opportunity to do something better here long run. Short run the DOS filename is the best workaround sorry.
