     @kaia also in fish shell tab completing an empty string gives you a nice list of files you can browse through, kanji end up at the end of the list (sorted alphabetically) so you can just shift-tab to get to them

     @kaia change to my jp input method, write 美 and press tab to complete the rest of the file
     
     there's also some TUI file managers like midnight commander that might be helpful

     @kaia you might be able to use find to identify a file that doesn't include any Latin characters before .png and use -exec mv {} newname.jpg (assuming only one file matches the search).

     @kaia find /path -regex '^[^a-zA-Z0-9]+\.png' or something like that

     @kaia you probably would want to use -ls or something first before firing the move command to make sure it matches your target.
