Thanks, Tod. Yes, those are Hebrew character sets. The Hebrew
filenames show up as question marks, not letters. So if on the Nokia I
make three directories on the card:
EnglishDir
תיקייהעברית
עודאחד2

Then this is what I see on my laptop:
EnglishDir
???????????
??????2

Of course:
$ locale
LANG=he_IL.utf8
LANGUAGE=he_IL:he:en_GB:en
LC_CTYPE="he_IL.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="he_IL.utf8"
LC_TIME="he_IL.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="he_IL.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="he_IL.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="he_IL.utf8"
LC_PAPER="he_IL.utf8"
LC_NAME="he_IL.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="he_IL.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="he_IL.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="he_IL.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="he_IL.utf8"
LC_ALL=he_IL.utf8

Actually, it does not. I mount it manually. Why that is, I don't know.
But it does not bother me.

Fat32, formated by me on a windows machine.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
