I dont expect my computer to treat charcters that look the same equally.

  Even when they are the same character according to Unicode?! (I understand not treating confusable characters as the same. That's a different story.)

    No, in my mind a filename should be an identifier made of a bunch of bytes. How you represent those bytes is not important in the context of the file subsystem. For me it seems more like a problem with Unicode. I can see why it is the way it is from a certain perspective. Very connivent. But it has broken the underlying abstraction layer.

      There was no underlying layer, just lots of U.S.- or Western-centric assumptions. Unicode breaks them, but so did every codeset (Shift-JIS, this, that, and the other).
