Community ManagerEmojis in filenames are finally here! 🥳
Hey everyone! We’ve got some exciting news - Dropbox now supports way more characters in filenames and folders! Emojis are now supported across all surfaces, and it’s available to everyone! That means support for emojis like 🚀, 🎵, 🏴☠️, plus rare scripts like 𩸽, اللهِ, and even mathematical symbols like 𝛑 or 𝔸. This long-requested update fixes the issue of files not syncing properly due to unsupported characters, so everything now works just as expected.
Whether you’re jazzing up a folder name with a little ✨ flair ✨or using your native language to stay in flow, we hope this update brings a little extra delight to your day and the way you work.
Give it a go and let us know what you think! And of course, thank you to Link1328 for the idea and everyone who contributed to the thread!

Happy organizing!

Just to check, could you try removing the null character at the end of the file name to see if this helps?
Alternatively, have you tried enabling the flexible file name feature?
Removing the space does not change anything and flexible file name is already enabled.

Happy New Year hottiehandmade, we're looking into this but with much of our team still away on holiday it may take a little time to investigate. We'll circle back with an update once we know more. Thanks so much for your patience!
