I wonder if Linux will allow you to use a Unicode right-to-left mark (RLM) or left-to-right mark (LRM) in a filename. That could cause all sorts of insanity.

Isn't there a unicode character that is basically like an invisible character? Now I want to try out different combinations.

There are all sorts of fun ones. That’s INE, there are others that have similar effects depending on context.

You can use the ZWJ to create filenames that look almost identical

A lot of this insanity is found in the wild with homoglyph attacks on URLs.
