Chinese filenames problem

I copied files with chinese filename from openSUSE into the external hard drive, then I tried to view the files in Windows XP, the filenames turned into symbols instead of chinese. Same as with copied from XP to Linux.

Here is how they looked like with a USB flash drive:

openSUSE -> Windows XP


Windows XP -> openSUSE

I searched the web, looks like the two operating systems use different code tables. I am going to looking into the problem more, hope I can find a solution.
