Rename file that begins with Emoji

     _x64: 1
   _admin: 1
_elevated: 1

TCC  26.02.42 x64   Windows 10 [Version 10.0.18363.900]

When I attempt to rename a file that has an emoji in the file name, TCC hangs, regardless if TCC is attached to TCMD or not.

I have no problem renaming it via Explorer.

Nevermind. It can be done this way;

How did you create that filename?

How did you create that filename?

I used Windows Explorer, and the {Windows Key}+.

You can create them in TCC. The easy way is to just copy the emoji from somewhere else, like a web page, and paste it into the command line — doesn't look pretty, but it works. Or you can use @CHAR to generate surrogate characters:

%@char[0xd83d]%@char[0xdc7d] is needlessly prolix. %@char[0xd83d 0xdc7d] is better.

Thanks @Charles Dye that works great!

Assigned emoji to an environment variable.
