Linux supports filenames according to you local settings and filesystem.
Problem arises when you have a copied filename from one encoding to another (different filesystems/locales). You help you convmv to convert encoding
I had ISO-8859-1 reiserfs filesystem, when I copied files to a UTF-8 reiserfs filesystem, files with such characteres "çãó" were not handled because they still used a single byte, so convmv fixed this problem easily.

For file contents you use "recode" or "iconv"
