character encoding

Hi,
I have noticed that I have some character encoding problems on my raid1 dns323, lots of podcasts filenames contain wrong characters.  For example ® (registered sign) appears in vista explorer as _ (underscore), some other filenames contain what windows character map calls "left pointing double angle quotation mark" (U+00AB).  If I telnet in and rename the files (copy and paste from windows character map) they look ok in the terminal, but not in explorer.  I migrated the data by pulling the drives, mouting one on a ubuntu box (ubuntu also identified files with "unrecognised/illegal encoding" - I forget what exactly the error description was, but it was something like that), mounted the dns323 (with newly installed drives and formatted under f/w 1.05 for raid1) running nfs (unfsd) and cp -a ing everything from the old hdd to the dns323 via nfs.  Samba config says "unix charset = UTF8"; /etc/samba/codepages lists codepage.850; unicode_map.850; unicode_map.ISO8859-1.  I am using putty and have now set that character encoding to UTF-8.  I now seem able to change filename in vista explorer and that change seems to be correctly reflected when I 'ls'.  Is it though?  Does this seem a safe approach - I don't want a situation where I later pull a drive or want to migrate data and end up with encoding problems again.
thanks
