Use the 'hexdump -C' and look for some ASCII-encoded portion of the  
filenames.  Or if you like vi, check out bvi (a binary vi;  
bvi.sourceforge.net).

As pointed out by John, the accented characters are encoded as  
multiple bytes using UTF-8, but as a single byte if using ISO8859-1  
(latin1).

I'm not sure what charset '@euro' encoding corresponds to.
