--- Comment #2 from Conrad Meyer <cem@freebsd.org> ---
If ls's output is going to a tty (ordinary shell session), it defaults to
f_nonprint=1, which replaces anything not printable in the current locale as ?.
 When you pipe its output to anything else (grep, cat, whatever), it defaults
to f_nonprint=0, passing the raw bytes through.  Your local terminal is in
UTF-8 mode and can decode the bytes.

This behavior can be overridden with 'ls -w'.  Or you can set any of LANG,
LC_CTYPE, or LC_ALL to a UTF-8 locale to fix plain 'ls'.
