This is executable linked against cygwin1.dll. I personally call such
binaries "Cygwin programs". However it is run from Windows.

CMD does nothing when you execute a program from it. Command-line
is passed literally. I've download procmon.exe [1] and filtered by
process name "cmd.exe". When I run

D:\cli> test abc "текст\" плюс.txt"

(suppose that CMD will at least remove backslashes) I see the following
in the log:

test abc "текст\" плюс.txt"
