As I said, zip doesn't want to store this file (at least the version I 
have installed).
And tar changes the strange character into "_".
Cygwin's p7zip will probably not restore this file as well as all 
Cygwin's programs have problems reading such a file - so Iguess they 
will have problems to create it as well.

If you know a program which is able to store the file properly - fine, I 
can use it. I just don't know what program would that be.

The actual filename is:

1<some_strange_character>.doc

But I guess it doesn't help much.
