Bug description

Hello all,

If the first file or directory in the cbr/cbz contains any special characters, such as accented letters (áéíóú), umlaut (üÜ), eñe (ñÑ), cedilla (çÇ), opening exclamation mark (¡) or question mark (¿), it does not happen with the closing symbols. I have not tried any other symbols, the thumbnail of the first image is not shown, but the text file icon appears.

--
Greetings

Steps to reproduce

Take any image, rename it or add any of the characters mentioned in the name, compress as cbz from the file explorer (e.g.: Nemo) or from the terminal.

Expected behavior

The thumbnail for the first image in the file should appear.

Research direction

Reproduce the failure on Mint 22.1 with Xreader 4.2.5 by creating a CBZ whose first image has accented or other special characters in its name. Trace the Xreader thumbnailer path for archive entries and confirm that the first image thumbnail appears instead of a text file icon.
