Indeed.
The current Windows OS still stores filenames as strings of sixteen-bit
wide words (not codpoints; not characters). It allows filenames "assa"
and "aßa" to coexist in the same folder, despite its claim to being
case-insensitive, and I have even managed to create filenames containing
unmatched surrogate codepoints and noncharacter codepoints.
