    Hello brainy people.I am running Window 10 Pro; OS Build 19045.4651 I have tried many ways to find files with ““ in them. It has worked in the past but I can’t find that note which gives me the correct search information. Today I have tried: filename:*1~=”“filename:~=”“filename.* [no semicolon]filename:~"1*"***.find. -name '* ~'"filename: type:NOT“file folder” All the above are from Google searches, the same way I found the magic words the first time. Grateful for any help.

    :)

    How to insert text symbols and special characters in windows

    There are few ways to type symbols in Windows 10.

    1 - Search "charmap" in windows search to find symbols. Character Map app will appear with a list of symbols.

    2 - Use ALT key code to type text symbols.

    3 - You can find almost all text symbols here: Text symbols and special characters

    Best of luck.
