Dealing with special characters (from Mac) on PC

I had to move a project, that originated from Prem Pro on Mac, to a PC.

Collecting the media was pretty easy (exported a list of files used using Listify extension in PP, wrangled in spreadsheet then used FreeFileSync to copy just those files).

Change Source folder then worked for the most part - but fails on files with special characters that work in Mac but not PC (e.g. * and 'British Flag icon' were 2 of the characters they'd used!)

Anyone have a method/idea to quickly deal with this?

(I guess I could've used Resolve to media manage - I tried project manager in PP on the original project but it failed & I had limited time to get this done)

You use emoji in Resolve MAC?

Not personally no!

But inherited Premiere Pro Project has all sorts of weird characters in the file names...
