 ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before?
 Dude, I love git-annex. I use it to have multiple copies of my HUGE music collection. I love that I can just have partial copies of my whole collection on my laptop/phone/remote servers/usb drive backup and have that all documented properly. This is some amazing software my man!

+There are a few programs that look at filename extensions and when asked to
+open a git-annex symlink, resolve the symlink and look at the extension of
+the file it *points* to. Mostly such programs are on OSX I think,
+although there may be one or two on Linux. The extension is in the keys by
+default because of that insanity.
+
+It might be that you could mess with your locale settings and get python to
+manage to decode the unicode character.
+
+Since it looks like everything that it makes sense to do in git-annex has
+been done, and you opened the glacier-cli bug, I suppose I'll close this
+one.
