Rename files that have reserved characters
When ls is showing that funny diamond-question value in the output or you see a litteral $ in the filename, here is the fix I was able to use...
ls output via -b
N\343o_Wave
via ls -i
213764100 'N'$'\343''o_Wave'
# Use the inode value to move the file to something typable
find . -maxdepth 1 -inum 213764100 -exec mv {} N_o_Wave \;
