How do I remove a git branch whose name starts with a unicode character?

Question

Using GfW I accidentally created a branch whose name begins with <U+0096>, which seems to be a unicode control-character.

$ git branch
  features/#72_some_branch
* features/#73_another_branch
  master
  <U+0096>features/#73_another_branch

Now, in order to correct this mistake, I need to know how to escape it in the git bash. I tried using the well known Alt+Num key combinations, but that didn't work.

Answer 1

I have to admit, the answer was quite obvious. Using the built-in echo command of the bash shell, I was able to insert the desired symbol:

git branch -d "$(echo -e '\u0096')features/#73_another_branch"
