Timeshift snapshot Warning Invalid UTF-8 encoded text in name

[Member Wallon]

Dear users,

I do my snapshots with Timeshift and I’ve had this message for some time.

I’ve done some research with Google but I can’t figure it out. This problem happens with a lot of softwares, with binary encoding, with windows, with linux, with python… In conclusion, I don’t understand anything.
Is it dangerous? What should be done?
