C++ code:
#include <fstream>
int main() {
// the value 0xff and 0xfe must not occur in UTF-8 text
char const filename[] = { 'i','n','v','a','l','i','d',0xff,0xfe,'\0' };
std::ofstream out(filename);
out << "aha!\n";
}
The thing is that, as Wilfredo said and whose attribution you snipped,
filenames are UTF-8 _by_ _convention_ and nothing enforces this.
