Aquamacs File System Coding
At work I'm always downloading strange file formats, or creating files with weird names to test our system.

But all it takes is a quick addition to your .emacs file and it's fixed! You just need to specify the "file name system coding," and there is even one included with aquamacs that is designed for the mac file system. Just add the following line to your .emacs file and you're all set:
(set-file-name-coding-system 'utf-8m)
After that, everything is rosy.
