Which character should I use in a Windows/Linux directory name to place it at the top of an alphabetically sorted list? (lemmy.world)

Currently I'm using #, but it causes issues with certain applications.

Example:

#Top Folder
Games
Music
New Folder
Pics

Currently using mostly Windows, but trying to transition to Linux, so a solution that works for both would be perfect.

Thanks, Lemmy!

Just saying that in Nemo (or whatever the cinnamon file manager is called) you can pin a file/folder to the top through the right click menu, unless I'm remembering wrong. But I haven't used this feature at all so I don't know how well it works for any use case.
