I have a setup to transfer my files from my Windows machine to my Android phone via Syncthing. I notice that some files whose names have emojis are renamed to strange Chinese characters:
-
🌒 C
→ߌ⠃
- 🌓 C
→ߌ㠃
- 🌔 T
→ߌ䠔
- 🌕 N
→ߌ堎
As the result in my phone they are write-protected. I'm unable to delete them:

However files whose name contains this emoji ✔️
are not affected.
Not sure if this is relevant to the problem, but for full information, when I try to remove this protection, diskpart
doesn't detect my Android phone.
