I'm not sure what you mean by that. Please specify further, including some examples.

like this example.."H , EL&_شيرين- _ (Official Audio ) _@sherine.m4a"

this is a filename with english and arabic characters, special characters ", & @", and emojis.

i want to remove the special characters like ", & @" and the emojis " "

and keep the english and arabic characters.

For emojis see previous answer. The rest, same priciple as before:
- Search for regex:[,&@]
- Old Format: [,&@]
- New Format: (empty)


The "emojis-regex" are Unicode character ranges that contain emoji characters.
