Thank you for the reply.
That is existing code. basically the logic behind the code is, if filename is utf8 encoded then return the string as it is but if it is not then decode it using encode::decode.

for filename "test1℗ὓ.txt" there is not need to decode at all but with filename "1669-SCC-HôpitauxdeSaint-Maurice-POC.PIF", it is not working with or without decode. when I say not working it is not getting decoded properly so that file is not getting attached.
