For AmigaOS 4 charset conversion was added in version 54.12 of filesysbox.library that was released to beta testers only just under two weeks ago (6.1.2023).
That doesn't make any sense, on AmigaOS 4.x FileSystems must not convert charsets, unless it's a Windows/MacOS/etc. filesystem (FAT, HFS, NTFS, ...) which uses charsets which are impossible on AmigaOS and have to be converted to UTF-8.
Instead the applications have to do it (Workbench, ASL, Dopus, Filer, etc.) for displaying the file/dir names in the currently selected local charset.
The only acceptable charset in file names on AmigaOS 4.x is UTF-8 (maybe UTF-7 too, I don't remember if that was allowed as well), and as fallback for old files/dirs (created on AmigaOS 3.x or older) only ISO-8859-15 (
not 8859-1).
If a file/dir name includes chars in the [128-159] range it's a new file/dir with UFT-8 encoding, if it doesn't it's an old, ISO-8859-15 one, or one without any non-ASCII chars.
