Diacritical characters get 'translated'

Hi,

New to this forum.
I'm just a simple point-and-click type user and using Calibre is great to keep my collection organised.
However, there is one thing that annoys me greatly.
Whenever I have a diacritical character in an author name or a book title, calibre 'translates' this into the normal character form on disk in the folder name created for the author, as well as in the file-name created for the epub file. eg. ö becomes plain o; é becomes e; etc.
Funny thing is, in the library calibre accepts and maintains those , but once out on disk the 'translation' has taken place.

Have I got something configured incorrectly?, although I can't imagine what, since I'm basically using a next-next-finish type installation (can you tell I'm using a Windows box?), i.e. apart from choosing my language and reader I haven't made any configuration changes.

Or, is it not possible at all to have calibre maintain these characters?

Appreciate your insight(s) here.
