Sure.

Use either this:

Use the undocumented script command "escapeunicode"

So CTRL + SHIFT + P after you selected such a folder (this copies only the base folder name, not it's path into the clipboard)

Enter this into the address bar:
escapeunicode <clipboard>; {ENTER}

It will show you something like this:
Unicode.png
Unicode.png (2.03 KiB) Viewed 1438 times
The relevant part is here: "*U+25A1"

Take the part after the "+": "25A1"

or that:

CTRL + right click on such a folder
From the context menu choose: "Show Character Table"

Look at the "hex" column and get the value from it for
the char on the correct row (in your example: the first)
Show character table.png
Show character table.png (9.82 KiB) Viewed 1437 times
Continue with (both parts):

Now prefix it with: "\u" and append the upper part
1. This is a lowercase "u"!
Result: "\u25A1"

Invoke XY's search (CTRL + F)
Enter it into the name field (no quotation marks!)
"RegExp" for "Mode"
and go for it...

I removed the undocumented script command "escapeunicode". Code-cleaning...
