tar: What is Unicode format of file names?

[Victor Porton]

Package: tar
Version: 1.13.17-2
Severity: normal

The info docs don't say (at least in a form simple to find) what tar stores
if it is given a Unicode filename to archive: a Unicode filename given on
the command line or it firstly converts it to the current locale and stores
a local dependent file.
