Sending to device always coerces filenames to ascii. That's because most ebook readers use FAT filesystems and FAT has totally atrocious support for non ascii characters. I have no desire to debug the endless bugs that will result from writing non ascii chars to FAT filesystems, so...

If you really, really need metadata in the filesystem on the device, use save to disk to save books to the device.
