Synology's `File Station`, like many other Linux file extractors, does not auto-detect zip file's charset. 

Extracting files using default options by click `Extract Here` or `Extract to` may end up getting filenames in wrong charset.

To extract files in correct charset, you must:
1. select `Extract...` in `Extract` action menu to open extract dialog.
2. click `Options` tab in extract dialog.
3. select the right language for the zip file in `Codepage`.
