No value over 127 is ASCII - a 7 bit character set encoding - perhaps you mean
CP1252 - see cp1252(7). That only applies if you are running Windows, and
mintty, with those character set encodings enabled.

Not seeing any directory information to back up your claim.
In case the encoding is different, please do the equivalent of:

$ ls -ld \`*\?\?2*T*\!*b*j/
$ getfacl \`*\?\?2*T*\!*b*j/
$ icacls "$(cygpath -m \`*\?\?2*T*\!*b*j/)"

There are some names which Windows may or may not prevent creating or
overwriting but could possibly cause problems depending on your system: e.g God
Mode folder GUIDs: *.{.......8-...4-...4-...4-..........12}.

Cygwin has fewer limitations but interprets your filename according to your
language settings and converts problematic characters to PUA or UTF-8 then
converts those to UTF16LE for Windows calls:

https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html#pathnames-dosdevices

and converts them back to your encoding for display.

These filenames may be inaccessible or not trivially accessible from native
Windows programs, and may not be convertible if you change to any encoding other
than UTF8.
