How to type an invisible charater while renaming a file?

Featured Replies

I remember that there is one way to create an invisible charater by typing 4 digits while holding Alt + X when renaming a file. What is the 4 numbers?

Alt + X + ????

Oh i found it myself. It's

Alt + 0160

Adding X or not doesn't make any difference.

Thank you guy anyway.

alt + 0160 works regardless (it's unicode)

alt + 255 will generate either: the exact exact same character, or y with a umlaut: ÿ.

If typing alt-255 makes a non-breaking space for you, try alt + 0255 and you'll see...

It all depends on the code page being used (like Windows-1252)

I became wary of using ALT + 255 for use in filenames, because it is exploitable, being the ASCII code that the keyboard sends when you press the DELETE key.

That's not the case at all. Keyboards only send make & break codes. It's not even close to being the same.
