Using Unicode to help organize files

I wanted to show you guys how easy it is to use Unicode to organize your files & bookmarks.

(Top Bookmarks bar using Unicode)
(Sidebar Bookmarks drop down using Unicode)

I use this site: www.Unicode-Table.com since it has a good search engine, I search for characters for most of them or just browse and find one that I thinks fits.

There really isn't much to explain other than showing you these, you saying to yourself, wow neat.
Then stealing the idea and saying "this is mine now"

Also, for computer files, if you index your files for search-ability don't start with unicode, use it after a searchable term.

If this won't work for you then to each their own. It works for my visual mindset better than the way it was stock.

Thanks for looking.

Samsung Note 5 Aluminum Bumper Case

You won't find a cooler, slimmer case than this for your Note 5. It even come with a glass screen protector. We buy nice phones partly because how slim they are. Why defeat that purpose by putting a giant bulky case on the phone. Surely the phone needs protection, that's a given, so here is the answer.

New Design Premium Aluminum Alloy Protective Metal Frame Bumper case + 1PC tempered glass screen protector film for SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE5 NOTE 5 (BLACK)

Now this bumper goes by many names, I'm not sure who the original was, but I can assure you it was a real name brand, who had China make them and now the most likely the same production line is selling these under a different name for way less. Gotta love China's copyright laws. Just click the link above for the best priced one along with the screen protector.  Seriously this is easily a +$50 value.
