Not sure why you can't see it, but I normally tell people that it is not 
a good idea to adopt a naming convention that starts with characters 
like these. I even go one step further and do not recommend people leave 
spaces in their file naming structure. For example:
 _this is my file.odt is not something I would recommend and it is 
unknown if the underscore could be treated differently by the OS and the 
spaces make it harder to retrieve the name if doing at a CLI (command 
line interface). I will usually recommend something like:
ThisIsMyFile.odt or ThisIsMyFileDate.odt or something like this.
