Special characters in document names in SharePoint Online
To test support of special characters in document names we created test files and uploaded them to document library:
When we try to open such file, error message appears:
...
What is even more ridiculous, even when I rename the file in SharePoint and remove all special characters from the name, it still fails to render! Probably, corruption occurs already at the moment of uploading with improper name and then persists internally.
- I think the problem is just not the special characters in the name...I think is more a problem in the new file viewer that we have in SPO. If you are able to upload the file to the document library, then this characters in the name are fully supported
