which encodings do windows use when reading filenames from zip archive thru zip folders?

as far as I know

central european – cp437

what about other?

  • Portuguese
  • Español (Spanish)
  • Français (French)
  • Polski (Polish)
  • Türkçe (Turkish)
  • Deutsch (German)
  • Italiano (Italian)
  • العربية (Arabic)
  • Farsi
  • ไทย (Thai)
  • 中文 (Chinese)
  • 日本語 (Japanese)
  • 한국어 (Korean)

    According to Apache Commons Compress Zip package documentation it’s the platforms default encoding.

    Windows’ “compressed folder” feature doesn’t recognize any flag or
    extra field and creates archives using the platforms default encoding
    – and expects archives to be in that encoding when reading them.
