Using special characters in filenames.

[aimeeandbeatles]

I know they're system characters, but considering what recently happened with the other "Thunderfall" I was wondering is there any way using non-ASCII characters? For double-quotes I just use a single-quote which works fine. But colons: would be useful for some things and semicolons; are a clumsy workaround. And Ive not found anyway to use a question ? mark. Any idea about that?

Using the Windows Character Map program with the Unicode character set, I created a file name that contained the following characters:

[size=+2]ʺˀː[/size]

which are unicode characters

U + 02BA
U + 02C0
U + 02D0

respectively. The "question mark" symbol isn't quite right, but it's the closest I could find.

Thanks. Is there any issue when using them on non-NTFS filesystems? Im pretty sure my flash drives are in FAT32.

I created a file using the above characters on my FAT32 flash drive. Seems to work OK.
