This pull request addresses issue #321 and #291 complaining about special characters in filenames.
Filenames in Obsidian are of primary importance as they are also used as note titles. Therefore, the current brute force approach of filename sanitization destroys note titles whenever illegal characters are involved. This cause unnecessary manual cleanup effort.
This pull request upgrades
sanitizeFileName
to replace illegal characters with legal Unicode characters that look similar.
