Possible bug corrupting file names with certain unicode code points
An rclone user has discovered that sometimes file names appear to get corrupted.
See this rclone issue for full details.
I managed to reproduce this and capture an HTTP transaction.

Thanks for the report! Sending non-ASCII characters in HTTP headers is not officially supported, so please make sure you're encoding any non-ASCII characters in headers as documented here:

There was a change on our server stack yesterday that affected how we handled HTTP headers without proper encoding. That resulted in malformed file paths/names like the user reported in the GitHub issue. We've reverted that change, so that should be working again, but please make sure your headers get encoded properly.

"We've reverted that change" - people with the Synology NAS are still having this problem.
