Omitting -r as a parameter to read would make it interpret

likely undesired (unless the intention is to exploit some bug).
Yes, i understood that omitting `-r` would make it interpret
escape sequences, hence me asking:
about the possibility of someone having consciously put e.g. a
\t in a directory name because they were assuming that it
_would_ get interpreted when required?
So i take your answer as, in reference a comment in the other
subthread: yes, there are in fact 'inappropriate' characters, in
the sense that certain representations of certain characters
aren't allowed. Which seems very reasonable to me. Thanks for
explaining.
Alexis.
