I’ve migrate a website from hostgator to digital ocean and I have filenames like: 11-01-03-La-Gr#U00e1fica-Completa.jpg and in hostgator I’ve see it like: 11-01-03-La-Gráfica-Completa.jpg
I’ve tried to change it within the console like: convmv -r -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 . convmv -r -f ascii -t UTF-8 . and so… But I can’t change it. I don’t know what to do, the are almost 3000 files like that. Thanks

Here’s a summary from a solution by Sakshi’s Oracle blog that works for Ubuntu:
sudo locale-gen es_ES.UTF-8
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
then edit /etc/default/locale and add LC_ALL and LANGUAGE with values “es_ES.UTF-8”, like this
LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=es_ES.UTF-8
Now try the locale command again.
Thanks to both. Now I can see it right in terminal / console… but apache is still with the error… And I’ve added the line:
AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
or
AddDefaultCharset es_ES.UTF-8
