Should you really change filenames of users' files and depend on the fact that they are valid utf8? Wouldn't it be better to keep the original filename and use that most of the time sans the searches and indexing?
Why don't you normalize latin alphabets filenames for indexing even further -- allow searching for "Führer" with queries like "Fuehrer" and "Fuhrer"?
