    ‘folder’$‘\003’

    Oh that is unpleasantly fiddly to insert all the backslashes to escape the bits. Testing here, (fiddly to even make a dir called that, lol), for fun, instead of just pressing tab, … is it just the $ and the \ you need to escape? and the ’ are fine? Results here are inconclusive, not sure I managed to make a file with the same name, it showing here with extra outer '.

    Probably easier to just interactively… but yeah, in case needing to have it written for a script… probably easiest still to just press tab, to see how it arranges the escape syntax, and paste that into your script. ;)

    The fi in fish is friendly interactive, after all.
