ls -la might not be showing you the true name. Try this: printf %s * | hd That should give you a hex dump of the bytes in the actual filename. If you misrepresented the situation, and there's actually more than one file in this directory, then use something like this instead: shopt -s failglob printf '%s\0' ? | hd Note that the ? is *not* quoted here, because we want it to match any one-character filename, no matter what that character actually is. If this doesn't work, try ?? or * as the glob, until you manage to find it. If it turns out that '?' really is the filename, then it becomes a ZFS issue with which I can't help.
