Any Tools to identify unicode characters in filenames?

    Any Tools to identify unicode characters in filenames?

    I have about 8500 fles in a library and about 100 of them (i assume) have
    unicode characters as they are not syncing with foldershare.
    Visually it is not possible to identify the files and change their names or
    delete them. Are there any tools (free if possible) to do this?



    Thanks, Manav

    Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find a solution ? I began writing a
    vbscript, but unicode characters behave strangely, so I would prefer a tool
    to do the work. Thanks, Jan
