Unicode not supported in filenames

It looks like unicode is not supported in filenames.
To replicate the issue, please check out:
http://mybinder.org/repo/jankoslavic/pypinm
which is a binder to:
https://github.com/jankoslavic/pypinm
you can see that files with non ASCII characters are missing.

Jupyter will list/open/etc. files with non-ascii names as long as the locale is set correctly. It looks like the binder image doesn't set a locale, so you get:
main@frontend-server:~/notebooks$ locale
LANG=
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
which means non-ascii things won't work (in notebooks or the terminal).
The Jupyter docker-stacks deal with this by calling locale-gen:
I opened a PR on the binder images to do the same.
