Penumbra fails to import mods with non-ASCII characters in the name

Originally reported to the Penumbra repo, but was directed here.

pasting original report from xivdev/Penumbra#350:

Playing on linux.

As the title says, penumbra completely fails to import mods that have non-ASCII characters in the name, such as chinese symbols, umlauts or the like. A workaround currently is to edit the .mpl file in the .ttmp2 archive before importing and removing any symbols that would result in a filepath with non-ASCII characters.

This works until you want to install something with Heliosphere; due to the automated nature of this plugin it's not possible to edit the .mpl beforehand, resulting in many mods simply being uninstallable.

Think a solution that doesn't cause problems down the line is to add a toggle into Penumbra settings called "Sanitize filenames to ASCII only" or similar. Easy way to handle the symbols would be simply to replace them with a ~ or - or some other simple symbol, or simply delete them from the filename.

Could this also be related to #15 ?

Run your game with LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 (or another .UTF-8 locale, if you have any installed – note that the only one a Steam Deck has by default is C.UTF-8) or LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8
