var newFileName = encodeURIComponent("테스트 한글.hwp");
res.setHeader('Content-Disposition', 'attachment;filename*=UTF-8\'\''+newFileName);

This should do the trick. It helps me with polish diacritics. Note the =UTF-8\'\' part.

Can you please explain to me what does that `UTF-8''` part do? – humkins Dec 18 '18 at 16:11

It sets HTTP header that tells the browser how to decode filename (which encoding standard is used by the server to send the filename) – Artur Czyżewski Dec 19 '18 at 17:13

Try this:

res.set("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + encodeURI("테스트 한글.hwp"));

Here is a popular library for UTF8 encoding/decoding https://www.npmjs.com/package/utf8

res.setHeader('Content-disposition', 'attachment; filename='+utf8.encode(object.pdfFileName));

res.set("Content-Disposition", contentDisposition("테스트 한글.hwp")

const {
  parameters: { filename }
} = contentDisposition.parse(resp.headers['content-disposition'])
