I think this may be a typo in whatever code is doing the translation, because U+FF02 is a typographically distinct variation of the double-quote character: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/ff02/index.htm That would give the visual appearance of double-quotes in file names in Explorer without violating the restriction on 0x22 characters in NTFS. In fact, it might be a thinko rather than a typo: 0x22 -> 0xF022. It looks like someone thought they could just add 0xF000 to the character value, when the correct value os 0xFF02. …And this is why we need man7/{ascii,latin-1,unicode}.7 files in Cygwin. :) (In the SHTDI spirit, I’m looking into some sort of automated way to generate such files from the miscfiles originals.) -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
