Samba extended character encoding

| I have several files whose filename contain extended characters. These files
were created on a Windows machine and the files later copied to my Debian
smb share.
Windows PC's see the filename as it should be. Linux displays "junk"
characters in place of the extended character.
For example:
Windows PC: Visée
Linux PC: Vis�e
Windows PC: Bourrée
Linux PC: Bourrée
Is there any way that I can correct this issue?

It sounds like the file names are in UTF-8. Enable and use the a UTF-8
locale on your system to solve this. For example, en_US.UTF-8 is a valid
locale capable of displaying UTF-8 characters.
See this if you haven't already:

Thanks!
I'm still not having any luck though. My system is set for en_CA.UTF-8. I've
also tried en_US.UTF-8 with no change.
Not sure if this matters, but I'm at a console through a PuTTY SSH session.
*click* ... Just changed my PuTTY settings and it's good.
Thanks!!!
