Hmmm....I have a file that, through windows explorer contains a (long) hypen, but through cywin (ls), the character comes out as a ?.



Windows Explorer is Unicode 3.0 compliant on the NT line (I have several files that use a mixture of English, Japanese, and Chinese in the filename and various description fields), and the 9x line can be made partially Unicode-aware. I don't think the em hyphen is a valid character on any Windows or ISO codepage (other than the Unicode project mirror standard (I want to say it's ISO-11350, but I'm fairly certain that's not right)).
