The "_" char on filenames for Windows-incompatible chars is too boring, use Unicode

      Picard can do better when track or folder names contain Windows incompatible chars. To use a generic "_" is too boring and ugly.

      I would suggest to use Unicode chars with the following map:

      ! -> ‼ (Unicode 0x203C) or ❢
      ? -> ‽ (Unicode 0x203D)
      / -> ∕ (Unicode 0x2215)
      : -> ¦ (Unicode 0x00A6) or • (Unicode 0x2022)
      "some text" -> "some text"

      Of course you can simulate this behavior with many nested $replace() functions, but a single $unicodify() or a checkbox option to the user that will do it all would be a more elegant solution.

      Thank you
