This is the IO_REPARSE_TAG_LX_SYMLINK tag, which WSL uses for symlinks and which 
Cygwin also uses by default for symlinks on systems that support it.  But you 
can change this if you don't like it, as I said in my reply to your earlier 
message about this:

It's not written by setup.  It's a Cygwin symlink [also a WSL symlink, as I said 
above], created by the postinstall script

   /etc/postinstall/zp_fontconfig_cache_1.sh

The fact that it contains a Cygwin path as its reparse data is not at all 
surprising:

ls -l /usr/share/fonts/microsoft/wingding.ttf
lrwxrwxrwx ... /usr/share/fonts/microsoft/wingding.ttf -> 
/c/Windows/Fonts/wingding.ttf
