Using colons and slashes in Windows filenames

There are plenty of times when colons and slashes would be helpful to havewhen organizing files (music, movies, books, books, etc.) but they're forbidden/reserved characters in Windows:




However, you can use the remarkably similar looking "Modifier Letter Colon" character (Unicode U+A789) in filenames/folders:

Quote:
(not a colon)

On a similar note, you can put forward slashes in your filenames and folder names too, using the "Division Slash" character (Unicode U+2215):

Quote:

(not a slash)

For quick use, I set up an AutoHotkey script so that typing ;;; results in the modifier letter colon and typing //; results in the division slash:




Anyways, happy organizing!
