php copy not working with utf8 characters?

Question

I am using php copy() function and am getting strange results which made me google and couldn't find anything about this topic so my conclusion was that php's copy($src, $dest) function cant have utf8 characters in the $src and $dest, but just wanted you guys to confirm on this - or maybe you know a way around this?

final conclusion: @azat: I thank you for your answers and trying to help - but all in all now I see I was wrong! The files (when downloaded to my computer did have correct caracters!, but when I was viewing the contents of the folder from my WinSCP I was seeing them all scrambled which I presume is because of the WinSCP. Anyway I will mark your answer correct as you were the only one to help and made me realize my error in the end.

edit: system on which i run this is Linux and an example of the command in php file is this:

<?php
    copy ("images/test.png", "images/myTestŽĆČĐŠžćčđš.png");
?>

Worth noting is that my copy command doesn't give any errors :(

if (copy($src, $dest)){
    echo  "File <b>successfully</b> copied to $dest<br/>";
}
else{
    echo "File <b>was not!</b> copied to $dest<br/>";
}

Answer 1

Ext4
LANG=en_US.UTF-8

<?
touch("/tmp/test.png");
copy("/tmp/test.png", "/tmp/myTestŽĆČĐŠžćčđš.png");

azat:~$ ls /tmp/myTestŽĆČĐŠžćčđš.png 
/tmp/myTestŽĆČĐŠžćčđš.png

So the question is what filesystem you have and mount options

Answer 2

I know this is late, but you need to check that the format of the php file containing the copy script below is utf-8 format. so when it copies the file, it copies it in the same format. this is how i solved my problem.

<?php

copy($path,$dest); ?>
