Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/3562

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (remote machine)

What happened?

During the deployment of Ollama and the Docker image for Anything LLM on a remote workstation, testing revealed that the system can properly display and process Chinese characters contained within uploaded file contents. However, when uploading files with Chinese filenames (e.g., "基于深度学习的配电网线路设备缺陷智能检测.docx"), a discrepancy was observed:

​Browser UI upload via Anything LLM's interface ​preserves Chinese filenames without corruption.
​API upload (using the /api/v1/document/upload endpoint) through programmatic methods or tools like Postman results in ​garbled filenames (e.g., mojibake), though the file contents remain unaffected.

Technical Translation Notes:

"garbled filenames/mojibake" (encoding-specific corruption)
Clarified distinction between UI and API behavior
Maintained original Chinese filename as context-preserving example
Explicitly noted unaffected file contents to isolate the filename encoding issue

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

Specify charset when sending the request via POST, that is what is occurring. The UI inherits one from the native system, but not the API https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aclosed%20garbled
