== Distinguishing marks == In System 7 through [[Mac OS 9]], aliases distinguished themselves visually to the user by the fact that their file names were in italics. To accommodate languages that don't have italics (such as [[Japanese language|Japanese]]), in [[Mac OS 8|Mac OS 8.5]] another distinguishing mark was added, badging with an "alias arrow"—a black arrow with a small white border—similar to that used for shortcuts in Microsoft Windows. In [[macOS]], the filenames of aliases are not italicized, but the arrow badge remains.
