Remove all unicode emojis / symbols from file names about zinit

I don’t think so. Happy to get rid of the arrow.

Regardless of the root cause, I think the right fix is to remove Unicode arrows from filenames. They cause more trouble than they're worth.

This is actually a known bug is zsh: https://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2020/msg01058.html

In the end it was much more cumbersome to find all locations and i ended up just wiping zinit entirely.

i also stumbled upon this which explains why the arrow was used. i think it was hasty to remove the arrow entirely without understanding why it was there.

I don't think Unicode is the issue here

[pschmitt]

Why? Got a theory on that?

Edit: pretty much looks like a unicode issue to me.

echo hi > test.zsh
zcompile test.zsh
mv test.zsh 🤣.zsh
zcompile 🤣.zsh
zcompile: can't open file: 🤣.zsh

👆 It has begun!

And now it's done! 🏆

this seems to have horked over a few of my zinit steps. error:

anyone know of a fix that doesn't include wiping my zinit install and starting it over?

[pschmitt]

Are you using the module?
Do you still have zwc files laying around in there?

Reinstalling zinit itself won't be needed here in, re-installing the annex might help though.
