New description:

 Rsync doesn't seem to be able to correctly identify the renewed status of
 file and directory names with certain accented (and non-latin) characters.

 I have some file and directory names with some accented characters (shown
 with character codes in the list of the verbose rsync log) that are always
 deleted and recopied even though they haven't changed since the last run
 of the rsync.

 I'm running rsync on macOS with the command "/opt/local/bin/rsync
 --archive --no-owner --hard-links --size-only --delete --ignore-errors
 --verbose  from-dir/ to-dir/".  (Just to check, I also tried
 "/usr/bin/rsync" on macOS.)

 Examples of some of the file and directory names are:

 Jieldé/Jieldé 2020.pdf            (shown as Jielde?\!#201/Jielde?\!#201
 2020.pdf)

 01 강남스타일 (Gangnam Style).mp4    (shown as 01
 ?\!#204\!#200?\!#205??\!#206??\!#204\!#202?\!#205??\!#206??\!#204\!#211?\!#205??\!#204\!#220?\!#205??\!#204\!#213?\!#205??\!#206?
 (Gangnam Style).mp4)

Comment (by ryandesign):

 MacPorts is just building the rsync software that has been provided by its
 developers. If it's not working properly, please report it to the
 developers of rsync so that they can fix it.
