Try it. To reproduce, touch and then trash a file named some two Hebrew
words delimited by a space. Navigate to the trash directory's 'info'
sub-directory and extract the 'path' value from the file's meta-data
.info file. That's the string we need to decode. Apply the string to
your solution and see that you do not get the space-delimited two Hebrew
words.
