Czech diacritics characters in filename
Dear Dropbox,
I would like to discuss one specific issue witch we are having with our Business dropbox. We are using http requests to communicate with out Dropbox via Integromat(Czech solution). ...

CFGtech Thanks for the report! It sounds like you're referring to making content-upload or -download calls on the Dropbox API, where you have non-ASCII characters to send in the 'Dropbox-API-Arg' HTTP header.
You can do so, but you'll need to make sure you're encoding those characters before putting them in the HTTP header, as HTTP headers don't support them natively. We have a guide here that covers how to do so:

Hi Greg-DB,
Sorry for my fast response. Seems in particular case the names are not encoded properly, Yes. I just assumed that a developer know that http(s) transport is ascii-based.
One provocative question in this context: Is You site (dropbox.com) follow the rules You just describe above? What I mean: After a try to create directory named "😀😇😈😉" (for example), the following message appears:
May be www.dropbox.com is buggy!? :confounded:

Здравко I can only provide support for the Dropbox API itself, not the Dropbox website, so I'm afraid I can't offer insight on your question.

Ok, improper formulation.
Is the Dropbox API support all unicode characters, i.e. such that can't fit in 2 bytes?
The same question in different words!
