SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2, when you use a function such as the FindNextFile function to retrieve a file, the non-ASCII characters in the file name are incorrectly displayed. This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
 * The file is part of a Universal Disc File System (UDFS) volume.
 * The file is stored in the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA) Compress Unicode format.
 * The file name contains non-ASCII characters.



CAUSE
When data compression is set to 8 bits per character, the UDFS driver translates the characters from ANSI single-byte encoding to Unicode characters instead of from OSTA single-byte encoding to Unicode characters.
