Not only do I create filenames with spaces, I also like to use slashes and 
colons in them (where appropriate). However, “/” is, as you know, a path 
separator in Posix systems. But that’s OK: Unicode allows me to use “∕” 
instead.

Similarly, “:” is interpreted by many network-aware programs (e.g. scp) as 
delimiting a node name prefix. So to avoid confusing them, if I feel the 
need for a “:” in a file name, I use “∶” instead.
