Public bug reported:

If a file name or directory name within a directory being backed up with zip contains a unicode right single quoation mark, zip can no longer handle it.  Zip returns   
*** buffer overflow detected ***: terminated  
  
Using the zip program available in Ubuntu 22.04, even on a Ubuntu 24.04 system, correctly handles such file names.
