    Description

      On some systems (e.g. Ubuntu Linux at least for me), when the downloaded course content contains activities with unicode characters in their names the zip archive won't work correctly - this leads to broken links

      This is somewhat exacerbated by the zipwriter class using such a character to truncate long paths

      e.g. for the following exported course content Test_course_1610007782.zip - this is how the Zip structure is displayed/extracted on an affected system:

      There's also this note in the ZipStream repository regarding the same issue: https://github.com/maennchen/ZipStream-PHP/issues/146
