Thanks for the additional info. The issue was caused by limitStringLength() within "\admin\_admin_functions.inc.php". It calls the standard PHP function substr() which seems to have issues with certain character sets. To resolve it replace the whole function with the following:

There's not really any specific DNS requirements. The additional domains simply redirect to the main, so you can create the domains (in cPanel for example) as 'add on' domains which point to a sub-folder on the main site. Then there's an .htaccess file you place in here to handle the redirects...
I've tested with the above filename on our local dev and fhscript.com demo site, both should the characters in the admin area fine. Are you on an older version? Can you reproduce it on our demo site?
You would pay out based on user downloads with the idea that you make more money from advertising & account upgrades. Use the download page manager to set 1 or more intermediate pages before users can download the file, show ads, pop unders etc.
Alternatively supply proof of the original license. I have emails going back 9 years, I'm sure you can find the details of a purchase you made a year ago...
Back to my original post above...
PS - we have ways to check whether a license is valid I can provide your site isn't without a doubt. The users of this forum pay and therefore support this software, by using an illegal copy you are not. It may be that you "didn't know", but now you do...
Couple of questions:
- If you click 'edit' in the admin area do they show ok?
- Do they show ok in the users file manager? (impersonate user)
There is filtering for security on the filename, although it should allow any utf8 characters after striping html tags.
Your site is using an illegal license. You have 24 hours to purchase a valid license for the core script and plugins or remove the site. If you don't do either we'll contact your webhost for removal of the site.
