This is usually an indication that you *haven't* set the
appropriate LC_XXX variables in your shell environment. Can you
check your environment variables when this happens? It should be
easy to see what you have set, by typing:
env | fgrep LANG
env | fgrep LC_
Then copy/paste the output of these commands in a response and
post it here.

That's cool. It means that FreeBSD doesn't really do anything to
the French characters of the file name. Exactly as it should :)
