Good one!
I found a file "\360z\003\ \001" (as reported by ls -b) in
/root and in /etc/X11/xdm . In hex that's <F0 7A 03 20 01>
(perhaps the 0A in your name is simply the end of line?)

Hmm, I did locate with cut & paste combined with ctrl-V :-)
I wonder whether the filename is perhaps part of the time stamp
or something like that; it wouldn't the first time code thinks
that time_t is 4 bytes long (ping as discussed this week suffered
from a similar problem).
