Weird file names



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----



There was a thread a while back about deleting weird files.  Just for
people interest I had to remove some strange ones today.  They were as
follows:

- ----------   1 username users           0 May  2  1970 ??
- ----------   1 username users           0 May  2  1970 ??????
- ----------   1 username users           0 May  2  1970 ??????????


Don't know how they made them, but trying rm '??' or rm \?\? or others
didn't work.  I eventually did rm -rfi *, and said no to everything else.
However the strange files came up as follows:

rm: remove `ÿø'? y
rm: remove `ÿøÿÿÿø'? y
rm: remove `ÿøÿÿÿøÿÿÿø'? y


Weird huh?  Anybody know why they look different in the directory listing?
