Ooh, I can put slashes in filenames!

    touch 2023∕06∕19

Or, maybe not.

    ls 2023/06/19

/usr/bin/ls: cannot access '2023/06/19': No such file or directory

Or, maybe I can.

    ls 2023∕06∕19

2023∕06∕19

> touch 2023∕06∕19

Won't work if the directory 2023/06 doesn't exist. The filename is 19, the relative path is 2023/06/19.

2023∕06∕19 is a filename. 2023/06/19 is a directory.

UTF-8 ∕ division slash

Lol

Unescaped non-asci was a mistake

2023∕06∕19 may be a filename, but it’s not a date, it’s an arithmetic expression. ;)

Oh geez I missed the utf8.

Or you quote them?

ls "2023/06/19" etc?
