When backing up files such as "Lóng_Filenämeß_©.txt" to some older network attached storage, they end up converted to "Long_Filenames_c.txt", probably because the NAS only supports SMB1 (now deprecated; SMB2 allows Unicode).
That means the files don't get recognized as being equivalents in FFS, even though the sizes, dates and even contents might be identical. I can copy them manually, and then tell FFS to ignore the files completely by adding *ü* and so on to the Filter list, but that still means there's no way of telling if/when they need to be resynchronized because the content/size/date has changed.
I know the 'ideal' answer would be to buy some new NAS... but is there any other workaround within (or in combination with) FFS?

(I wouldn't know nearly enough to actually comment, so I just throw a link out there - that might or might not be of benefit:
