There are only two characters you can't use: one is the colon (because it's used by the system). The names of files and folders in Mac OS X can use almost any character out of thousands of Unicode characters, which include symbols, arrows, and icons as well. Mac OS X determines the order of these special characters using your language settings in the International pane in System Preferences. The easiest way to do that is to name your folders with a symbol as the first letter in the file or folder name: like a space, an underscore ( _ ), or a tilde ( ~ ). When making a folder of files, sometimes I want items to fall outside their alphabetical order - for instance, often I like to have a special folder that's always at the top of a list. The neat-freaks among us (myself included) enjoy keeping things in their particular place and order.
