Describe the bug
Pretty self explanatory title. My app, for instance, has an icon with the file name "ÖmerGöktaş.png". Here is the result:
The desktop entry created in the ~/.local/share/applications contains malformed Icon entry, here:

Additional context
P.S. I use my own homegrown Qt-based appimage creation tool to create appimages (due to certain Qt specific stuff lacking in yours), and did not create my appimage with your app image creation tool (your creation tool could be mitigating this issue in the creation phase, so I thought it might be relevant to know). I believe this is still a relevant bug for the AppImageLauncher side to fix.
I have the same issue but with a normal Name:
balenaEtcher https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/releases/download/v1.19.25/balenaEtcher-1.19.25-x64.AppImage
But in download folder it shows up:
So the integration not picking up the icon?

This could be due to your icon theme that you have installed on your system trying to replace app's original/embedded icon with something theme-specific. Try to install another icon theme and see if gets fixed. Also, typing 'r' or 'restart' in the Alt+F2 prompt will restart GNOME Shell and refresh icon cache. Make sure you do that too. I am not definitively saying that this is the issue, but it could very well be since the icon in the download folder is ok; because once you install an app, GNOME shell tries to pick the icon from the icon theme first if it's available.
