p7zip archives and extracts the original encoding (composed or decomposed)."Caja" extracts the original encoding (composed or decomposed).Ubuntu supports composed and decomposed.I'm not sure if Windows (NTFS) will complain with decomposed characters. RAR always archives and extracts as composed.Bunded Info-ZIP (unzip 6.0) extracts the archived encoding (composed or decomposed).Bundled Info-ZIP (zip 3.0) always archives decomposed.BSDTAR, LZIP and ZSTD archive and extract the original encoding (composed or decomposed).Probably this was the reason p7zip composed when archiving.

How some native zip and tar programs in macos store decomposed names in archives? So if we create archive (zip or tar) in macos, do we need to use original decomposed form inside archive, or we should compose for storing in archive? Also copy/paste a composed filename is always converted to decomposed.Īnother systems (not macos) don't expect decomposed strings, so they use mostly composed form. For example on external ExFAT or FAT decomposed are converted to composed by the system. Another question is possible composition for archive (or for external devides transferring).
