Mark,
It is a LC question. Definitely an LC question.

In LC, I can literally "get the files" and immediately ask "is there a file (line whatever of it)" and I get a "doesn't exist" if line whatever of its contains a violater character in the file name. This happens with me for all Czech characters in the high ASCII range, and I have no workaround, either through terminal or through native LC. I am on Windows, not MacOS. It was a deal-breaker on an app I was developing a couple years back.
