I have recently come across a file whose name begins with the character '♫'. I wanted to copy this file, feed it into `ffmpeg`, and reference it in various other ways in the terminal. I usually auto-complete weird filenames but this fails as I cannot even type the first letter.

I don't want to switch to the mouse to perform a copy-paste maneuver. I don't want to memorize a bunch of codes for possible scenarios. My ad hoc solution was to switch into `vim`, paste `!ls` and copy the character in question, then quit and paste it into the terminal. This worked but is quite horrific.

Is there an easier way to deal with such scenarios?

**NOTE:** I am using the fish shell if it changes things.
