fastfat.sys stores into shortnames only 7bit characters. Which is same
in all OEM codepages. Non-7bit are replaced by underline or shortened by
"~N" syntax. According to source code of fastfat.sys it has some
registry option to allow usage also of full 8bit OEM codepage.

So default behavior seems to be safe.
