Using file field to upload image which has utf-8 filename, but when it is uploaded to site filename is not saving in utf-8 format.But original name is saved as link in database making it not found when accessed.
AddDefaultCharset utf-8 is added to httpd.conf and server restarted before testing.
original filename - noëlle_châtelet.jpg(same is saved in database)
saved filename -noëlle_châtelet.jpg
According detailed explanation at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=47096 temporary solution would be, explicitly converting filename encoding using iconv().Now it raising new warning message(shall I have to open another issue thread for this?)
Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for public://noëlle_châtelet12.jpg in file_save() (line 566 of C:\server\www\drup_dlist_mys\includes\file.inc)
temporary solution until it is fixed in php move_uploaded_file() function. In file.inc I added the line in drupal_move_uploaded_file function block
+$uri= iconv("UTF-8","ISO-8859-1//TRANSLIT", $uri);
$result = @move_uploaded_file($filename, $uri);
// PHP's move_uploaded_file() does not properly support streams if safe_mode
// or open_basedir are enabled so if the move failed, try finding a real path
// and retry the move operation.

This is only happening in WAMP and working fine in linux. I don't know how this new iconv statement will affect in unix/linux environment.Can it be possible to check whether the current locale supports for utf-8 just before iconv() statement?.
The only thing AddDefaultCharset does is to add charset=utf-8 to the HTTP header Content-type if the previous part is missing. Nothing to see with uploads or downloads.
On a Windows system, PHP functions relative to file system do not handle UTF-8 but ANSI code page (CP1252 for French) as PHP use ANSI functions and not Unicode functions (UTF-16) of Windows API.
IMO, in general, the best way to handle uploads is to generate unique file names and ignore client file names or, at least, ignore bytes > 0x7F.
$filename = filter_var($_FILES['upload']['name'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING, FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_LOW | FILTER_FLAG_STRIP_HIGH);
Can it be possible to check whether the current locale supports for utf-8 just before iconv() statement?
You can use setlocale (to get current locale FALSE !== strpos(setlocale(LC_CTYPE, '0'), 'UTF-8') and/or returns FALSE if it is unavaible if (!setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'fr_FR.UTF-8'))).
UPDATE: as of PHP 7.1.0, PHP can now use UTF-8 encoded paths on Windows (set internal_encoding to UTF-8, for example - should be the case by default).
