How to tell wget to download files with url encoded names?

The name of the pictureThe name of the pictureThe name of the pictureClash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP

I'm trying to download an entire website using wget and this is the command I use:



wget --recursive --no-clobber --page-requisites --convert-links --domains example.com --no-parent http://www.example.com/en/


It's working just fine but there is one problem. There files (mainly images) that their name contains Chinese characters like this:




http://www.example.com/path/to/首页主KV3.jpg




After downloading the file has been save with this name:




??%96页主KV3.jpg




And it's addressed in the html page like this and therefore issuing a 404 error:




�%2596页主KV3.jpg




I wonder how can I prevent this inconsistency?!

          I fought with this today aswell.



          In my case the problem was with german letters like "ä,ö,ü"...



          I fixed it by setting ALL my language settings to UTF-8.
