My C# project saves files and creates folders with the extended ASCII character "²" (superscript 2). Is this safe to work with internationally? Is this something that could cause any issues with the .NET libraries or Windows functions?

+2  A: 

Starting windows NT (?) filenames are always unicode. so there shouldn't be a problem.

Things do get hairy when you start using alternative space characters, transliterated characters or characters which should have a bidirectional context but that is not the case with the superscript 2
