Looks like the classic misunderstood about different charset (note that I do
not have the original headers).
I understand Dipti was really writing

which is what he can see on his display.
On the other hand, Ken saw (transformated in U+FF3C using presentation forms
to make it unambiguous):
>> If I set my LC_TYPE to en_US.UTF8 do I need to convert the non-Ascii
>> characters like '＼' in the filename for functions like open, etc.
... and reacted accordingly.
