How to use symbols for naming a folder or file.

Have you ever wondered how one can use symbols to name a folder? Whenever we create a folder we name it by just by using one or more alphabets or digits that are present on keyboard. Off course one can also use the special characters for naming a folder but what about other symbols those are not present on keyboard?

To name a folder or file with such symbols one should know the keystroke behind those symbols. To know keystrokes go to start->accessories->system tools->character map.

Here you can see a list of symbols now click on any symbol and note the keystroke present at the status bar. Now create a folder and name it using these keystrokes.

For example press alt + 1 you can get ☺ symbol. Similarly you can use variety of symbols to name your folder.
