Strange. This is the output on my W2k machine:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
lw AT SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ touch test-äöüß

lw AT SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r--   1 lw       Kein            0 Jan  4 22:38 test-????

lw AT SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ ls -lN
total 0
-rw-r--r--   1 lw       Kein            0 Jan  4 22:38 test-äöüß

lw AT SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ ls --version
ls (GNU fileutils) 3.16
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The same happens on my Win98 PC.
Did you perhaps type "ls -n" instead of "ls -N" ?

Just an experiment: type "ls -b" and see if the "funny chars" are
quoted then.

lw AT SPAHIS /usr/local/test
$ ls -lb

Bei mir funzts, Gerrit... ;-)
