When you try to zip a folder by right-clicking the folder, hovering the mouse over Send to and clicking Compressed (zipped) folder, you may receive the following error "
cannot be compressed because it includes characters that cannot be used in a compressed folder, such as ©. You should rename this file or directory", where is the name of the folder that you are trying to compress. The will have a full path. For example, "F:\Users\Public\Documents\New Folder\Copyright © cannot be compressed because it includes characters that cannot be used in a compressed folder, such as ©. You should rename this file or directory."

The reason for this error message to appear is the © character present either in the parent folder or within the files or folders inside the parent folder. Removing the © character from the file or folder name resolves the issue. Once it is done, you will be able to compress the folder.
From the picture in the right, there is a file named File Copyright © and a folder named Copyright © which are present inside the New folder. When you compress New folder, you may receive the error message 'F:\Users\Public\Documents\New Folder\Copyright ©' cannot be compressed because it includes characters that cannot be used in a compressed folder, such as ©. You should rename this file or directory. In this case, you have to rename both the file and folder.
