utf-16 0x2d31 would be "ⴱ" Tifinagh letter Yab utf-8 0xe2b4b1 which 
seems unlikely 
"⸱" word separator middle dot would be utf-16 0x2e31 utf-8 0xe2b8b1
you can type this in any console window as 
	<alt...><num-+><2><e><3><1><...alt>
meaning you hold alt down while typing the other characters.

Your file names should look like: 
"BackUps(old)/Backup Pre-Rolled Payroll 2015⸱16-MBTT2016.zip"
"Corrupted files/Payment Summaries/Payment Summaries 2015⸱2016"
"Restore/MBTT2017⸱2016-07-12 MBTT2016.zip"

If you're not using a utf-8 character set, Cygwin may not be encoding 
this utf-16 character, or using the correct utf-8 equivalent for Linux, 
so it can be reversibly decoded.

I don't know if rsync --iconv utf-16,utf-8 can bypass Cygwin to get the 
original names, or if it will internally encode, then rsync decode and 
encode, and produce a mess.

You might want to get the creator to change the punctuation to just 
a normal minus and not get too creative, or skip those directories.
