[New-bugs-announce] [issue44836] shutil _unpack_zipfile filename encoding issue

[Yogendra kumar soni]

New submission from Yogendra kumar soni <soniyk40 at gmail.com>:

shutil _unpack_zipfile uses takes filename using 
name = info.filename 
if files are created in a machine that uses different encoding say utf-8 containing u'\u201c' in filename and the machine where we are extracting has a different encoding say Latin-1.
creating target path using ​_ensure_directory(targetpath)
​is not  able to correctly check target path and creating targetpath also fails.
UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character u'\u201c'.
