Lukas Lueg> The default encoding is UTF8 What do you mean? Not inside a zip file. The default encoding is CP437 (the original IBM PC US character set). A zipfile password is a sequence of bytes, not characters, as defined in the specification. Probably this issue has to wait until it is decided what to do in the general case; anyway, encoding the password to bytes at the application level seems to be safer.

(the original IBM PC US character set).
A zipfile password is a sequence of bytes, not characters, as defined 
in the specification. Probably this issue has to wait until it is 
decided what to do in the general case; anyway, encoding the password
