OS-X has some weird internal rules about Unicode. The Unicode file name that is input is always "normalized" to create the name that will be used in the file system. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_equivalence . I do not recall at the moment whether OS-X uses "fully composed" or "fully decomposed". Ah, checking I see it needs the decomposed form; see http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/83935/unicode-normalization-for-filenames-and-copied-text-from-pdfs

Needless to say, there is the potential for problems when this occurs.
