The file name containing "-- " could not be found

[likeaturtle]

What version of fd are you using?
fd 9.0.0

I'm currently using it on Windows. If I do have a file called-- 21.txt (for example), how can I retrieve it?
If I type-- 21 directly (without a suffix), the program will refresh a large number of the following addresses, but cannot find the-- 21.txt address:

What is the command you are running?

[pallaswept]

Seems to be working on linux:

fd -- 21 .
./-- 21.txt

Also when actually searching for this oddly named file, including the hyphens:

fd "\-\-\ 21" .
./-- 21.txt

Hope this helps find a fix.
