I'm trying to rename a file name but the original file has a special character caused by typo. I've tried numerous combination of characters but the file name (original) is still not being recognized which in turn, would not allow me to rename the file.
Can someone help? The filename is a Oracle 9i Database Datafile.

stanza - Stanza file format
SYNOPSIS
stanza
DESCRIPTION
A stanza file format is used in conjunction with the libAF(3) stanza file library.
The stanza file syntax rules are as follows: Separate entries by one or more blank lines. A colon (:) terminates a entry name. A newline
terminates an attribute name and value pair. Separate a attribute name and attribute value with an equal sign (=). Separate more than one
attribute value with a comma (,). Entry names and attribute names can contain any printable character, except whitespace, a newline, or
special characters, unless specified appropriately. Entry attribute values can contain any printable character, except a newline or spe-
cial characters, unless specified appropriately. Trailing blanks or tabs are allowed at the beginning or end of lines. A number sign (#)
at the beginning of a line indicates a comment. Comments should be included only at the beginning or the end of an entry.
The syntax for a stanza file entry is as follows:
entry_name:
Attribute1_name = Attribute1_value
Attribute2_name = Attribute2_value
Attribute3_name = Attribute3_value1, Attribute3_value2
.
.
.
The entry_name variable specifies the entry name. The attributes for the entry are specified with the Attribute1_name, Attribute2_name,
and Attribute3_name variables. The values for the attributes are specified with the Attribute1_value, Attribute2_value, Attribute3_value1,
and Attribute3_value2 variables.
Several special quoting characters allow attribute values to contain special values and data representations. If you specify a quoting
character, surround the attribute value with quotes. For example, to specify an octal value use the slash character: 07
