Inconsistent encoding of file names is a problem. There seem to be two

1. Introduce an as yet undesigned but probably complex and insecure
system by which file names are automatically converted to the
appropriate encoding.


note: this is ALREADY IMPLEMENTED IN LINUX for the FAT filesystem.
see kernel docs - Documentation/Configure.help, under "NLS".

If it has to be done - it has to be done in the kernel, at filesystem level.
