How to create folder/file that name ended with a dot in Windows?

Question

I wanna create a file that file name end with a dot in Windows.

use "mkdir a.", but i only create a folder named with "a"

And I just wonder how to write a function to create such directory, thanks

If you want to write a function, you'll need to tell us, what programming language you intend to be using. — IInspectable, Dec 05 '17 at 16:15

Use an extra dot and a trailing backslash:

mkdir a..\

But I highly recommend not to do so. You'll mess the directories up instantly.
