Searching files with Polish characters using regular expression

I have a problem when searching for files in regular expression mode. The problem occurs when the file name contains Polish characters.
After entering a fragment of the name with a Polish character, e.g. "wskaźnik", in the search field, the file is not found.
I tested FCXE in public version 900 and the latest 913.

Have you tried another encoding (you can select encoding in the search dialog)?

In the search window, I found character encoding settings only for the "search file content" field.
My question was about the "file name" field.
I did a lot of testing and found a solution.
Remember, the search is for the file name, with the regular expression option selected.
Instead of the diacritic, I type ".?.?"
Example.
To search for the file "wskaźnik.txt" in the search field, I type "wska.?.?nik.txt".
It works.
The double use of ".?" is probably related to the coding of characters on two bytes.
