There's no (good) solution from inside Cygwin.

Yeah, I can only imagine how difficult is to be compatible with posix, win32 and the likes.

Any chance you can just rename the files?

I renamed the files, in fact.

However, it seems that users working with (older?) Office for MAC use U+F020 more frequently than I expected, maybe because of that [1]:

"Microsoft's defunct Services For Macintosh feature used U+F001 through U+F029 as replacements for special characters allowed in HFS but forbidden in NTFS, and U+F02A for the Apple logo."

Any chances to enable a "bypass" for these characters (excluding the one you reserved for compatibility as explained detailed in the "Forbidden characters in filenames")? Maybe hidden behind a configurable option (even disabled by default), so to not interfere with the current behavior?

Thanks.
