The \nnn format gives you the actual character in octal. These three characters are all outside the normal printable range and may look like spaces in a "ls" display.
There are three trailing characters at the end of each of these names:
\357
\200
\250
It is possible to generate these characters in shell and use them in commands:

Hi, all:
I've got two folders, say, "folder1" and "folder2".
Under each, there are thousands of files.

However, if I change the above question a... (1 Reply)

UUENCODE(5) File Formats Manual UUENCODE(5)NAME
uuencode - format of an encoded uuencode file
DESCRIPTION
Files output by uuencode(1C) consist of a header line, followed by a number of body lines, and a trailer line. Uudecode(1C) will ignore
any lines preceding the header or following the trailer. Lines preceding a header must not, of course, look like a header.
The header line is distinguished by having the first 6 characters "begin ". The word begin is followed by a mode (in octal), and a string
which names the remote file. A space separates the three items in the header line.
The body consists of a number of lines, each at most 62 characters long (including the trailing newline). These consist of a character
count, followed by encoded characters, followed by a newline. The character count is a single printing character, and represents an inte-
ger, the number of bytes the rest of the line represents. Such integers are always in the range from 0 to 63 and can be determined by sub-
tracting the character space (octal 40) from the character.
Groups of 3 bytes are stored in 4 characters, 6 bits per character. All are offset by a space to make the characters printing. The last
line may be shorter than the normal 45 bytes. If the size is not a multiple of 3, this fact can be determined by the value of the count on
the last line. Extra garbage will be included to make the character count a multiple of 4. The body is terminated by a line with a count
of zero. This line consists of one ASCII space.
The trailer line consists of "end" on a line by itself.
