It is probably worth noting that the first Arabic character in the above 
filename (i.e. the one that appears on the right, adjacent to the period) has a 
canonical decomposition, as per this line from UnicodeData.txt 
(http://www.unicode.org/Public/9.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt 
<http://www.unicode.org/Public/9.0.0/ucd/UnicodeData.txt>):
0625;ARABIC LETTER ALEF WITH HAMZA BELOW;Lo;0;AL;0627 0655;...

That is, in some cases this character 0625 (UTF8: D8 A5)  will be converted to 
the sequence 0627 0655 (UTF8: D8 A7 D9 95).

This decomposition was introduced in Unicode 3.0. If there are processes that 
use decomposition according to Unicode 9 versus Unicode 2.x, or processes that 
don't decompose versus ones that do, then the filename bytes will be different.
