There is this in the Info format specification (in an Appendix of the
Texinfo manual), in 
https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/Info-Format-Regular-Nodes.html:

 Node names containing periods, commas, colons or parentheses can confuse
 Info readers. If it is necessary to refer to a node whose name contains
 any of these, the <nodename> should be surrounded by a pair of DEL
 characters (‘CTRL-?’, character number 127). makeinfo adds these
 characters when needed in the default case. Note that not all Info
 readers recognize this syntax.

The beginning of the specification is at:
