Display of filenames in FXFileDialog

My application (written with Fox 1.6) uses a FXFileDialog. Fine on Windows
and Linux, but on macOS, this displays files with a non-ascii character in
them incorrectly. I believe this may be because while filesystems on the
Mac use UTF8, they chose a different representation for diacritics? See
discussion at

The result of FXFileDialog.getFilename() has different byte values, too!
When I call normalize() on it, it gets the "canonical" UTF8 representation,
but I cannot open a file by that name, obviously.
The filesystem in question is APFS.
Notably, the file looks fine on the terminal, because Apple knows about its
own quirks:
enno@mac$ ls *.cr
böse.cr

Is there a way to make FXFileDialog render filenames in a
filesystem-appropriate fashion?

Enno.
