    Did you not just use tab? That’s the usual method of dealing with weird characters in filenames that I’ve found

      Too bad when there’s multiple files starting with and consisting mostly of e.g. kanji (when on a Latin keyboard).

      This was quite a while ago now, but I don’t think my shell escaped the tab complete properly, I remember it just printing a literal newline and evaluating it as a second command. I think there was other unicode in there too, otherwise I would have just typed it out. I had to do something with null terminated output and piping it in to mv, but I can’t remember what exactly.
