Use of emojis in filenames

[soegaard]

The test file 🤔.flac contains an emoji in the file name.

This causes Dropbox to generate sync errors when the repo is synced (at least on macOS)
probably also elsewhere.

I hope, the file can be renamed.

The full path:

https://github.com/xiph/flac/blob/master/test/flac-to-flac-metadata-test-files/%F0%9F%A4%94.flac

Problem originally reported here:

mamedev/mame#13539

I think this is actually a dropbox problem. A service that still cannot handle Unicode correctly is seriously broken in my opinion.

The naming is deliberate, so I'd like to keep it this way.

The problem is definitely a Dropbox problem.

It turns out that Dropbox can handle some emojis in filenames, but not others.
Is it possible to change the emoji to a different one?
