rock emoji in file names prevents checkout of files from the repo [macOS]Β #1

I'm facing the issue that I cannot clone the repo due to illegal byte sequences in three filenames:

error: unable to create file ⏣ Templates/πŸͺ› Todo List.md: Illegal byte sequence
error: unable to create file πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ Gardening Tips/πŸͺ¨  🌳  Obsidian Garden.md: Illegal byte sequence
fatal: cannot create directory at 'πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ Gardening Tips/πŸͺ¨ Obsidian': Illegal byte sequence

I've set following git config flags in order to deal with unicode/utf-8 file name symbols:

[core]
  quotePath = false
  precomposeunicode = true

From the unicod number I gathered it's the rock-emoji. It's a pretty recent addition (March 2020) and might not be available on all systems. At least I'm not seeing it on my system. It'd be nice if that emoji would be replaced.
My system OS: macOS Catalina, 10.15.7 (19H1217)

Cheers!
