I know that player can play files with strange characters if playlist file is used. But I tried to generate playlist file on the fly with a script which accepts file name as a parameter, but because script is called by player file name parameter is corrupted.
So it is not possible to play mp3 files with utf-8 characters if you don't know file name in advance.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
There are two issues being discussed here, and only one has to do with the silkscreen font. The other has to do with the xspf_player's failure to recognize or load playlists from urls containing utf-8 characters.
For example, I can populate a playlist with songs by Hüsker Dü, but I am not able to put them in a file or script named Hüsker Dü.xml or H%C3%BCsker%20D%C3%BC.xml.
That's a bug in my opinion and should be addressed.

This is due to lack of special characters in the silkscreen
font that the player uses. You can download the font here:

and add you countrys characters, or use a different font
