Request To Use "Special Characters" in Track Titles!

Recommended Posts

Request to allow alt code symbols in Track View/Console View track names, like arrows: "▼" (alt+31) & "▲" (alt+30).

They can be typed in but don't remain after saving & closing the project.

Open the saved project and the symbol is replaced with "?"

I know I'm alone on this but...

I was hoping to use alt code symbols in track titles like arrows: "▼" (alt+31) & "▲" (alt+30).

Open the saved project and there's a "?" where the symbol was.

Am I doing something wrong or can we not use special characters?

The problem isn't really within cakewalk but more windows itself.

Windows does not allow certain special characters to be used in file names and once a track is stored within the project folder, files are listed by track names.

I could be slightly wrong here, but i dont think i am.

Characters used in DOS level file management have always been forbidden for general file/folder naming, like  \  /  :  ?  "  <  >  |.

Alt code characters, like "▲" that can be used in file naming should also be usable within Cakewalk. At least I don't see a reason why they couldn't.

Cakewalk track names are not files and all the forbidden symbols above can be used there.

In my case, Cakewalk is replacing the symbol "▲" with a "?" (a forbidden character).
