File Name should not contain special character

Special characters in file names

Hi, since this morning (out of a blue) any of my files that contains special character (Norwegian letters) or files that stored in a folder that contains special character can not be seen in the preview pane, only an error message "File not found" is shown.
Is there any setting to allow special characters in the file names again, or was there an update that disabled it now? Do I need to rename or my files and folders if I want to see them in the preview pane?

 

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.

 

Searching for special characters

To find any file containing -2 search for filename:*-2:



(Click to enlarge.)

Search parameter filename:* followed by any special character searches for that character in file names. For example searching for filename:*& finds all files with an ampersand (&) in filename, search filename:*_ finds all files with an underscore in file name, search filename:*, finds all files with a comma in file name.
