Encoding of a zip file

character encodingid3localemp3zip

When I extract some file (mp3) with japanese or korean characters within its filename on Windows, they appear normally, but when I extract it on Linux (Ubuntu/Mint) they appear as something like this

?????

The question is:

  1. How to fix those already extracted files?
  2. How to fix the id3 tags also when I don't know what's the correct text/characters?
  3. How to make extraction defaults as Windows' character encoding?

Best Answer

1- you can use convmv -f xxx -t yyy --notest . in your folder contains those already extracted files/folders. xxx means your Windows encoding, gbk and so on; yyy is your Linux encoding, utf8 and so on.

3- you can use file-roller(Ark is not supported), uninstall unzip package and install p7zip-full packages.
