Hi,

I have filenames with umlauts (special German characters) that are
displayed as '??' in busybox shell. I've tried the below config
changes to get those umlauts to display properly but it's  not
working. What am I missing?

Thanks

+BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_LOCALE=y
+# BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE_PURGE is not set
