Hi Sebastian, In Windows, jvm by default uses iso-8859-1 encoding in which the characters öäü are present. Whereas, In Linux we have to use the utf-8 encoding for these characters to work and the file needs to be saved using utf-8 encoding. <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8"> <cfdump var="#expandpath("/test-öäü.txt")#" /> Thanks, Mukesh

Hi Mukesh, that would make sense if expandpath() would behave the same for paths starting with "/" and paths not starting with "/". Example: <cfdump var="#expandpath("/test-öäü.txt")#" /> <!--- output: /path/to/test-???.txt ---> <cfdump var="#expandpath("test-öäü.txt")#" /> <!--- output: /path/to/test-öäü.txt ---> Could you investigate more please? Thanks, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian , I tried in build#2016,0,07,312270 and find the expected behavior : <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8"> <cfdump var="#expandpath("/test-öäü.txt")#" /><br> <!--- output: /path/to/test-öäü.txt ---> <cfdump var="#expandpath("test-öäü.txt")#" /><br>  <!--- output: /path/to/test-öäü.txt ---> Please make sure the file has to be saved using utf-8 encoding. Can you please try on latest update and let us know .   Thanks, Mukesh
