I have one file name that uses Unicode character U+318DF, which is in the tertiary pane, more precisely CJK Unified Ideographs Extension H.

touch 𱣟
ls

returns:

''$'\360\261\243\237'

Extension H was introduced in Unicode 15.0 in 2022.

I also notice that this bug occurs with any character with Extension I (introduced in 2023).

Extension G seems to works okay.
