Not NTFS (on Windows) which uses sequences of 16bit units. Same about
FAT32/exFAT within "Long File Names" (the legacy 8.3 short filenames are
using legacy 8-bit codepages, but these are alternate filenames used when
long filenames are not found, and working mostly like aliasing physical
links on Unix filesystems, as if they were separate directory entries,
except that they are hidden by default when their matching LFN are already
shown)
