wpath.external_file_string() returns the type and encoding required by the platform. For Mac OS X, the type is std::string, and the Apple web site says the encoding is Unicode. I assume that means UTF-8, although I couldn't find that stated explicitly.
"In Mac OS X's VFS API file names are, by definition, canonically decomposed Unicode, encoded using UTF-8." This means that precomposed characters are forbidden and combining diacritics must be used to replace them. See http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1173.html.
