Judging from an earlier message in this thread, they're using mathematical

consider using them to substitute for real letters in a filename to be . . .
technically not misuse, but a Really Bad Idea anyway. It still shouldn't
cause things to break, but I don't find the breakage (or the confusion
surrounding it, since the OP seems unaware of the semantics of the
codepoints they're using) particularly surprising.

I checked the link, but in that case the system
locale was different from
the TDE language, which is not my case; I also created a brand new test
user, it also has the same issue of tofu boxes; even changing the default
theme and logging back in doesn't solve the issue, I don't know if it has
to do with the customized apps, even with the new user.
What is exactly the font that you use to create this file name?
It seems some kind of italic font.
Can you check in kcharselect - type the name of the font, so that it loads
and see how the chars are being represented
