Internationalization
Starting with Samba 3.0, Samba supports Unicode “on the wire,” requiring no additional effort on your part to support filenames and other text containing characters in international character sets.
Internationalization Options
Samba 2.2.x has a limited ability to speak foreign tongues: if you need to support filenames containing characters that aren’t in standard ASCII, some options that can help you are shown in Table 11-3.

client code page
The character sets on Windows platforms hark back to the original
concept of a code page
. These code pages are used by DOS and
Windows clients to determine rules for mapping lowercase letters to
uppercase letters. Samba can be instructed to use a variety of code
pages through the use of the global
client
code
page option to match the corresponding code page
in use on the client. This option loads a code page definition file
and can take the values specified in Table 11-4.
