Folder names with ">" in the name do not display correctly. Probably more special characters affected.
Folder name is "Copy ARCHIV -> PC" in this example

exFAT can through Mac OS which seem not to limit the filenames to the Microsoft conventions of exFAT. I realize that Windows actually doesn't allow you to use ">" in a file name.
