Cygwin already generates these unpaired surrogates in filenames, at least here: https://github.com/cygwin/cygwin/blob/84dff09aa0d3ad998551e3f91c61dc0534b0b8bf/winsup/cygwin/syscalls.cc#L342-L350 I was looking into ways to automate cleaning up these files, which would likely be hampered if things like findutils would suddenly start disallowing me from finding files with these characters in them. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
