I agree with David's direction, but ending with Raku instead of Perl.
I don't think golfing is the way to illustrate a practical solution,
so I show a short Raku script:

$ cat read.raku
#!/usr/bin/env raku
my $a = "name with spaces";
my $b = "name\nwith newline";
say "file 1: |$a|";
say "file 2: |$b|";

And executing it:

$ ./read.raku
file 1: |name with spaces|
file 2: |name
with newlines|

With Raku, it's easy to search the directory for the weird file names,
open them, and use their contents. Raku also has many built-in quoting
constructs to suit any situation.

I'll be happy to demo any of that here.

Best regards,

-Tom
