Issue uploading a file with non-English filename

var my_graphQL_func = {
  type: responseType,
  args: {
	file_upload: { type : GraphQLUpload, required: true }
  },
  resolve: async (_, args) => {
	  ...
    console.log( args.file_upload )
	...
  }

I am using GraphQLUpload. Everything works ok, but whenever I upload a file that contains non-English characters in the file’s name, the app seems to . For example, I got a file named “平仮名.pdf”. When I uploaded it in, this is what I got from console.log above:

Promise {
  { filename: 's�\r.pdf',
    mimetype: 'application/pdf',
    encoding: '7bit',
    createReadStream: [Function: createReadStream] } }

So “平仮名.pdf” became “s�\r.pdf” . This occurs with other languages as well. How do I fix this issue?

Personally I don’t use Postman, but it seems you can easily open a network inspector this way:

It would be good to figure out if the filenames are being sent correctly from the client. If they are not, then we know the problem is on the client.

Upon further inspection. We created another tiny app to test this, and the tiny app could send files with non-English name to the node.js app without any issue. Therefore, Postman (v7.34.0) is at fault here.
