I always assumed that banned characters in Windows filenames meant that all exotic characters would also be outlawed. The inability to use ?, / and : in particular irked me. One day I discovered that it was virtually only those chars which were banned. Other Unicode characters may be used. So the nearest Unicode characters to the banned ones I could find were identified and MS Word macros were made for them as Alt+?, Alt+: etc. Now I form the filename in Word, using the substitute chars, and copy it to the Windows filename. So far I have had no problems.

下面是替换字符(Alt +十进制Unicode):

⃰ ⇔ Alt8432 ⁄ ⇔ Alt8260 ⃥ ⇔ Alt8421 ∣ ⇔ Alt8739 ⵦ ⇔ Alt11622 ⮚ ⇔ Alt11162 ‽ ⇔ Alt8253 ፡ ⇔ Alt4961 ‵‵ ⇔ Alt8246 “ ⇔ Alt8243

作为测试，我用所有这些字符组成了一个文件名，Windows接受了它。

虽然唯一非法的Unix字符可能是/和NULL，但应该考虑到命令行解释。

例如，虽然在Unix中将文件命名为1>&2或2>&1是合法的，但在命令行中使用这样的文件名可能会被误解。

类似地，也可以将文件命名为$PATH，但当试图从命令行访问它时，shell将把$PATH转换为其变量值。

在Windows中创建internet快捷方式时，为了创建文件名，它会跳过非法字符，除了正斜杠被转换为减号。

在Unix shell中，您几乎可以用单引号引用每个字符。除了单引号本身之外，您不能表示控制字符，因为\没有展开。从带引号的字符串中访问单引号本身是可能的，因为您可以用单引号和双引号连接字符串，如'I' ' ' ' 'm'，它可以用于访问名为"I'm"的文件(这里也可以使用双引号)。

因此应该避免所有控制字符，因为它们很难在shell中输入。其余部分仍然很有趣，特别是以破折号开头的文件，因为大多数命令将这些文件视为选项，除非您在前面有两个破折号，或者您使用./指定它们，这也隐藏了开头的-。

如果你想要更好，不要使用shell和典型命令使用的任何字符作为语法元素，有时依赖于位置，例如，你仍然可以使用-，但不能作为第一个字符;与.相同，只有当你想要使用它(“隐藏文件”)时，你才能将它作为第一个字符。如果您是恶意的，您的文件名是VT100转义序列;-)，因此ls会使输出乱码。

在Windows 10(2019)中，输入以下字符时会出现错误，导致输入失败:

文件名不能包含以下字符: \ /: * ?< > |
