You are copying from a removable media device, right?

I am assume you are copying from an CD/DVD.

Type ALT-F2 to open the Run Command Window
Type: gksu gedit /etc/fstab
Enter your password
In the fstab file, you must find your CD/DVD line, it looks somewhat like this:

/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0

You must change the 4th column (the one that says user,noauto) and add utf8 support. In my example:

/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,utf8 0 0

Remember to not add any spaces. Save file and close the window.
Try inserting the CD now, files should appear with foreign characters displayed correctly.

can you translate this into something that will both work in Kubuntu and something that will work with an external hardrive instead of a cd rom drive.
