Does macOS Big Sur's Time Machine not back up ~/.Trash?

Because I couldn't find it in the Time Machine's back ups since MacBook Pro's trash was accidently emptied. My client can't remember where the original locations before throwing the file into the trash and emptying it even after searching.


Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

FWIW, if the file in question was created then erased between Time Machine backups, it would not be backed up in any case. If the client can remember the name of the file then one could search the Time Machine drive for the file.
