Impossible to git rm with special characters

Question

I added files in my git repository that I want to remove now. I deleted it with rm XXX. Now, git status shows me:

Changed but not updated:
    deleted:    "Sche\314\201ma application + interface.graffle"

No matter how I git rm it, I still have a :

fatal: pathspec 'Schêma application + interface.graffle' did not match any files

I tried to escape whitespaces with \, to escape \ with \\, to escape " with \". No matter what I tried, it failed.

Do you have hints?

Answer 1

This will detect the remove:

git add -u
