But valid. :-) You can easily have filenames with "false positives" (read: homographs) using UTF-8, where a dot isn't a dot, a space isn't a space, a hyphen isn't a hyphen, where invisible characters are included at arbitrary places, and then make the whole thing look innocent, like "Alice & Bob @ the beach in summer [2020], good weather (1).xls.jpg.exe". ;-) And as you know, stupid people tend to actually _do_ stupid things, especially when they have access to a computer. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
