I know IIS supports Unicode when URL's are encoded in UTF-8, but does any DAV server out there understand DBCS/MBCS ? DBCS/MBCS: double byte or multi byte character set used for far east languages (Japanese, Chinese, Korean). It's a mix of single byte and multibyte characters. The multi-byte characters are encoding as two bytes with a lead and trail byte. DBCS strings have to be parsed by software that knows about DBCS because some special characters like backslash can appear in the trail byte which could confuse some software when parsing path's for example.
