I am having trouble creating files with cyrillic characters on a

For eg. If I try to create a file like :

I do get:
 
# ls
1?????? 

Is your file created with the wrong name or is it actually just the
'ls' output that doesn't support unicode characters?

If you're using busybox, I think these configuration options could be
of interest:

CONFIG_UNICODE_SUPPORT
CONFIG_LAST_SUPPORTED_WCHAR

You'll find this at the bottom of "Settings -> Support Unicode" when
using menuconfig.

I have verified that my locale has utf8 support:
 
# locale
LANG=en_GB.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_GB.utf8
 
What could I be missing and how can I create files with cyrillic
characters?
