Rsync not identifying renewed status of files with accented characters

[Lev-GitHub]

Rsync doesn't seem to be able to correctly identify the renewed status of file and directory names with certain accented (and non-latin) characters.

I have some file and directory names with some accented characters (shown with character codes in the list of the verbose rsync log) that are always deleted and recopied even though they haven't changed since the last run of the rsync.

I'm running rsync on macOS with the command "/opt/local/bin/rsync --archive --no-owner --hard-links --size-only --delete --ignore-errors --verbose from-dir/ to-dir/". (Just to check, I also tried "/usr/bin/rsync" on macOS.)

Examples of some of the file and directory names are:

Jieldé/Jieldé 2020.pdf (shown as Jielde?\#201/Jielde?\#201 2020.pdf)

01 강남스타일 (Gangnam Style).mp4 (shown as 01 ?\#204\#200?\#205??\#206??\#204\#202?\#205??\#206??\#204\#211?\#205??\#204\#220?\#205??\#204\#213?\#205??\#206? (Gangnam Style).mp4)

İstanbul (shown as I?\#207stanbul)

Changing your locale environment variables or using --no-iconv may help. See the documentation for the --iconv= option in the man page.

FYI: The "--no-iconv" option worked for the Korean song title but not for the other accented characters.

MacPorts is just building the rsync software that has been provided by its developers. If it's not working properly, please report it to the developers of rsync so that they can fix it.
