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.

I would go further and recommend that people *never* use special
characters in file names, not even _ if you can avoid it.  Some of
them have meanings to other entities (like the shells, which don't
like spaces in file names, which is a WINDOWS thing anyway).

With _ this is a new oddity I haven't seen before, but leading
underscores are often interpreted specially by various applications,
so I'm not too surprised.

Aren't letters and numbers enough?  :-)
