Subject: How to delete a file with ^? chars in the name?

I have a file which is named ^?^?^?H01.b (delete character?) and can't
find a way to delete it.  An ls -s on the directory produces:

   ..	... (other files)
    1	???H01.b

If I do an ls *.b, it lists the other .b files, but complains:

	H01.b not found

I've tried:

	rm -i *			(to selectively delete everything)
	rm "???H01.b"
	rm "^v^?^v^?^v^?H01.b"  (control-v delete ...)

and nothing seems to work.

Help me, o wizards!
