However, there is a way out. Get your error message above into your
terminal, specificly by running your command again to ensure it is
exact. Then use cut/paste in your terminal to effect 4 mv commands. So,
like this:
mv *.part01.rar '<paste-filename-1-from-the-error-message-here>'
so you're:
- using the shell to match the _current_ first file with *.part01.rar
- you are typing a single quote, then pasting the filename from the
error message, then another single quote
Provided the desired filenames' quote _is_ an apostrophe and not an
ASCII single quote, you should be ok here. This is because your terminal
has transcribed the error string from par2, and hopefully that will be
usable.
This avoids figuring out how to type a weird filename.

Well done Cameron. Thank you.
Moving the files did help. I don't know why I didn't try that before. With
everything else going on today, it must of slipped my mind. I started going
in circles. I know I tried to move the files late last night but not with the
paste like you suggested.
The advantage of the paste is that par2 has recited the filenames for you to
your terminal, so cut/paste gets to pick them up again verbatim in whatever
encoding is in play.
BTW, with the locale the utf-8 bit is what matters for this: it dictates how
character codepoints are encoded when written to your terminal and, for locale
aware apps, how they are encoded when filename bytes are generated. It also
ditates how things like "ls" decode those bytes and decide what is printable or
otherwise.
The .en-ca stuff is for higher level conventions like language, regional
dictionaries, currency symbols, number separators and so forth.
This will go in my notes for future reference if it happens again.
It is funny that the par2 program had no problem seeing the repair
volume files with the glyph but couldn't see the rar files with the
glyph.
Is it possible you handed par2 the names of the repair files on the command
line, but that par2 was getting the rar filenames from the metadata?
