Yes. NTFS has no problem with non-latin letters and emojis in file names.
- qingcharles 3y agoI had to test it, but this is true. I just renamed my TODO.txt to [sobbing emoji].txt
- justsomehnguy 3y agoNTFS itself has not that many forbidden characters (though ':' is one of them, it denotes alternate stream). What people think about those CON, PRN, AUX, NUL etc are not filesystem limitation. And while we are here - nor backslash, nor forward slash are used in NTFS. It can care less about what char do you use for a directory separator. Just be sure to update your APIs.
- nxobject 3y agoNTFS on non-Windows systems aside, I wonder whether there are any "pure NT" environments you can access in Windows where you can create and use these folders.
- tenebrisalietum 3y agoYou can do some stuff under Cygwin that's bothersome under explorer.exe, like delete files with really long pathnames.
- bombcar 3y agoYou just need to come in below whatever layer notices them. I'm sure they've been used to smuggle viruses in, so the layer that blocks them may get lower and lower.
