@stylus It's kind of amazing that I've never played around with that. I will not get bored tonight! What you can have in file names is multi-byte characters. There is a forward slash in unicode that can be combined with another character to overlay it. Like this: E̸ (U+0338) If you combine that with a space, it looks like this: ̸The depiction depends on the font of course. In my terminal it looks exactly like a normal slash: / $ touch 'abc ̸def' $ ls -l abc* -rw-r--r-- 1 steeph steeph 0 5. Apr 18:57 'abc ̸def' @jak2k
