Does the library support Unicode filenames and comments?

Yes, as of September 2008, the library can create and read zip files that have Unicode (UTF-8) filenames and comments. You can also specify arbitrary code pages when reading or writing zipfiles. But, Windows Explorer does not support UTF-8 encoded zip files. To read the zip you create, you will have to use a tool or library that supports unicode, such as WinRar, DotNetZip, etc.
