I am using Linux Mint Cinamon 19.2 64bit, Veracrypt 1.24
The container was made in Windows and in windwos I've putted the files with diacritics.
When I'm opening the container in Linux, the diacritics are missing and "?" are showed instead.
In windows everything works fine.
Any ideas what is happening?

The Windows and Linux file name characters rules are different.

@Sr Lopez
Well, why then normal partitions and files that are shared on one PC and used by both Linux and windows, doesn't have that problem?
