Open a terminal and cd to a writeable directory of your choice (which you
can access with Thunar).
Reproduce these commands and see if your results are different:
$ perl -e 'print "\xe2\x82\xac\n"'
€
(this is a UTF8 euro sign printed in the terminal)
$ perl -e 'print "\xe2\x82\xac\n"'|wc -m
2
(this is confirmation that the system knows it's a euro and a linefeed)
$ perl -e 'print "touch \xe2\x82\xac\n"'|sh
(this is to create a file with a euro name, now check what is shown in Thunar)
Let me know what you get.

problem occurs with directories that I brought in from previous Fedora
installations. For example, I get the following in Thunar:
