Hello!
mintty in Cygwin 3.6.4 cannot display the Unicode moon character:
It's a problem in cygwin 3.6.4 but mintty 3.7.9, released a few days
ago, has a workaround for it, as long as you're running a UTF-8 locale.

my testcase:
bash -c 'm="$(printf "\U0001f313")" ; echo "moon2" >"$m$m$m$m$m$m$m"'
ls -l
That should display a filename with los of Unicode moon characters,
but instead some grey checkerbox is rendered. Windows Explorer shows
this correctly.

eos:~/cygtest >m="$(printf "\U0001f313")"
eos:~/cygtest >echo $m
\U0001F313
eos:~/cygtest >echo asdf > $m.txt
bash: \U0001F313.txt: Permission denied
eos:~/cygtest >echo asdf > $m$m
bash: \U0001F313\U0001F313: No such file or directory
eos:~/cygtest >echo asdf > "$m$m"
bash: \U0001F313\U0001F313: No such file or directory
What are your locale and language environment set to? (LC_CTYPE, LC_ALL, LANG)
Windows 10 with UTF-8 locale
