描述

On the latest version of webtorrent desktop when I try to seed a torrent that has files whose filename contains characters such as an ellipsis or apostrophe the character is replaced with a question mark character making it impossible to seed the original file without having to rename it and make another torrent altogether. I don't get this though when I create a new torrent using the same file however. Only when the using the .torrent file. I used the same torrent file in several other clients and didn't have this issue.

研究方向
The issue is that special characters (e.g., ellipsis, apostrophe) in filenames are replaced with '?' when seeding from a .torrent file, but not when creating a new torrent. This suggests an encoding problem when reading filenames from the .torrent metadata. Investigate how webtorrent desktop parses the bencoded metadata, particularly the 'name' and 'files' keys, and how it handles UTF 8 vs. other encodings. Check the relevant code in webtorrent and the desktop app for any character substitution logic.
