Today I found a file in my directory C:\ProjectDir\Long file name.jpg

When I open this file properties and check the path it shows \\?\C:\ProjectDir\Long file name.jpg

Why is there a \\?\ at the beginning of file path?

The file name has a emoji and the file name is many words and is too long. Is the file name causing a problem?
