You can always put files having weird filenames into a container
(tar/zip/rar/7z archive) with a sane filename before storing
them on the USB stick.

Besides getting rid of the problem of different filename
encoding on different platforms, the container's integrity
checking (checksum) comes as an extra bonus.
