  1. Software with special character in the name is not running


    There is a piece of software that I am trying to run on my pc Levelator 2.1.1 but it does not start after installing.I tried to figure out what's wrong and I noticed one thing after trying it on a friend's computer. The end of the software's name on my friend's computer has the registered trademark symbol, while on my computer it has a diamond with a question mark in it.My hope is that if I can get it to display the symbol correctly maybe it'll run, but I don't know.

    :)

  2. How to create folder name or file name with special characters like \ / : * ? " < > |

    My problem is that, I can not give name of my folder or file with special characters like \ / : * ? " < > | in windows based O.S.
    This is very important for me, that giving name of file/folder which contain this type of characters.

    I already search and refer so many site,for this problems but all are hopeless.
    I also read Microsoft support page, they suggest use other characters. This is its link, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/177506

    I already try Alt button + ASCII code number of this type of special characters, from numpad key, just example rename file/folder and press Alt+60 (for < characters) Still it giving message that, A filename cannot contain any of the following characters:
    \ / : * ? " < > |

    Suggest me suitable solution so that I can give name of my file/folder with this type of special characters.

    Special characters

    I say little wrongly it as fault, its more feature. Normal characters are 7-bit and special characters are 8/16-bit long. So more you use special characters, shorter the message can be.
