Possibly because the names are generated on a Unicode-enabled system, and passed as something like UTF-8 - but the receiving system is not expecting that, or there is some difference in the default coded-character set on MAC and Windows, so that the conversion from MAC codepage to UTF-8 and back to Windows codepage is not a 'round-trip'.
I've no experience of MAC, so I've no idea if the above is relevant or not.
On a Windows system:
- Using the default 8-bit codepage (1252: Windows ANSI), the "LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE" character is at code-point 0xE9 (Unicode U+00E9).
- When using the UTF-8 transformation format, this would be encoded as the multi-byte character 0xC3A9.
- On a system which is expecting Windows codepage 1252 single-byte characters (rather than a UTF-8 stream), this would be displayed as LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH TILDE, followed by COPYRIGHT SIGN.
