Public bug reported:

Hello,

When uploading files, we ran into some problems with the zip files
(version 1.2), e.g. when students had special characters or punctuation
other than a fullstop in them. I know you shouldn't do that but there
are students who just use the default name that is suggested by the
system as file name, and if it is "Déjà maintenant, il y a des
problèmes!" then so be it :-S ➪ Put up a little note about "proper” file
names so that the zipped files can be extracted.

Foreign characters in files within zip file cause trouble
