10.10 File names
================

The name of the files installed by binary packages in the system PATH
(namely ‘/bin’, ‘/sbin’, ‘/usr/bin’, ‘/usr/sbin’ and ‘/usr/games’) must
be encoded in ASCII.

The name of the files and directories installed by binary packages
outside the system PATH must be encoded in UTF-8 and should be
restricted to ASCII when it is possible to do so.
