So that character is "f021".

I should have thought about that from the beginning.  Well, there's no
workaround and there will be no patch for this.  The problem is that
this character value is within the 0xf000-0xf0ff range.  This range is
part of the UNICODE block 95, "Private Use Area".  There is by
definition no valid UNICODE character assigned within this area and
Cygwin reserves the right to use this 0xf000-0xf0ff for its own
purposes.  Besides, I have a hard time to imagine how a user could
create a filename with this value except wantonly.

The range from 0xf000-0xf0ff is used by Cygwin 1.7.0 to map special
characters which are disallowed in DOS filenames.  You can use every
other UNICODE character in Cygwin, except for these values.

I see.

Thanks a lot for your support.
