I did an ls on my home directory today and discovered I have a file,

impossible, even when I escape all backslashes:
rm: cannot remove `\\254-][{}\\351\\350\\340': No such file or directory
What the hell is this file dated Jan 3rd and how do I remove it?
Thanks!
One of the oldest jokes in unix..to create a filename that you can't get
the shell to parse well enough to remove..
