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.
