I don't know, but perhaps a workaround helps, e.g. a link.

$ ln -s Chinese documents

$ ls -ld Chinese ?ocuments 
drwxr-xr-x 2 rocketmouse rocketmouse 4096 May 14 05:32 Chinese
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rocketmouse rocketmouse    7 May 14 05:32 documents -> Chinese
drwxr-xr-x 3 rocketmouse rocketmouse 4096 Apr 16 17:42 Documents
