Yes! See function try_to_bin in winsup/cygwin/syscalls.cc:
/* Create unique filename. Start with a dot, followed by "cyg"
transposed into the Unicode low surrogate area (U+dc00) on file
systems supporting Unicode (except Samba), followed by the inode
number in hex, followed by a path hash in hex. The combination
allows to remove multiple hardlinks to the same file. */
