# Unicode ZIP files

TreeSize is able to zip files with file names including characters which are not part of your activated code page (Unicode file names).

To restore this Unicode-decoded Zip files you will need an Zip tool able to handle Unicode encoding.

Here is a list of tools we have tested for Unicode compatibility:

- WinRAR (V3.8 or higher)

- WinZip (V11.2 or higher)

- 7-Zip (V4.6 or higher)

- PeaZip (V5.1 or higher)

- BitZipper (V2013.13.4.16 or higher)

- IZArc (V4.1.8.2988 or higher)

- Windows integrated Zip tool (Windows 8 / Server 2012 or later)

Note

The integrated Zip tools of Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Server 2008 are NOT Unicode compatible.
