It is generally a bad idea to use any punctuation outside of periods,
hyphens or underscores in document- or filenames, regardless of what
platform you're working on. Too unpredictable.
(And even periods, other than the filename extension, can cause confusion to
some software. Best to avoid extra periods, too.)
Had a customer send us a file a few weeks ago that used an Emoji in the
filename. Didn't even know that was possible, and our file server automation
*really* didn't like it at all.
