unsupported unicode length about detox HOT 4 OPEN

What version of detox are you using? You can get it quickly by running:

detox -V

from detox.

Actually, it's possible that the filenames aren't in UTF-8 at all. You can try detox -n -s iso8859_1 FILE or, if you're using detox 2, detox -n -s iso8859_1-legacy FILE, to see if either yields better results.

I figured out the reason was because there was an apostrophe in some names.. will that particular detox command fix that without having to manually rename?

It really depends on what the underlying bytes of the apostrophe are. If it's just a normal apostrophe, it shouldn't cause the error you're seeing. If it's a CP-1252 or upper ISO-8859-n apostrophe, then you might get the error you were describing.

The detox -n ... commands above will do a dry run, so you can see what would happen without it actually changing anything.

One other option to help solve this is to use hexdump -C to see what the actual bytes are.
