You are asking a wrong question. 'A' is always 65.  The problem
is that 65 can either be 'A' or something completely different.
For example, suppose you get a byte sequence 0x8b 0x7b 0x93 0x63
in shift-JIS, which happens to be my surname.
Then the second byte is not '{' and the last byte is not 'c'
but parts of 16bit characters 0x8b7b and 0x9363 respectively
(endean doesn't matter).  Well, I usually write Japanese TeX
documents in EUC but if I were to use SJIS, I would have to use
the special Japanized version of TeX compiler and jPerl for reLyX.

Anyway my opinion has always been "Just don't bother about multibyte
filenames handling, for users of these systems should know better."

Regards,
        0x8b7b 0x9363 (Miyata) 0x94c9 (Shigeru)
