  • If you look up those bytes in the cp862 table does the file name match what you expect? Otherwise, do you know the native encoding of the source machine? Commented Dec 28, 2015 at 20:11
  • Ditto for cp1255, and any other plausible encodings; it may be possible to just work it out based on what looks right. Commented Dec 28, 2015 at 20:22
  • @MichaelHomer: No, it doesn't look like it matches. The native encoding of the source machine is whatever MS Windows uses when you set the regional settings to Hebrew-Israel, so I guess it's sometimes UTF-8 and sometimes CP1255. Commented Dec 29, 2015 at 21:41
  • There is a bug report for "Archive Manager" (internally file-roller) that contains a wealth of useful information: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/file-roller/+bug/495880 Commented Jan 2, 2021 at 0:49
  • You can try unzip -O cp862 -o "$sub_file" the. The code page 862 is the code page used to for Hebrew. If your archive is also encrypted with a password, then you're out of luck with the unzip command because the password needs to be encoded in Hebrew too. Commented Apr 1, 2023 at 11:00
