No, properties are not members. They are also nowhere mentioned in the core D-Bus protocol. Instead, properties in D-Bus are implemented via the org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties API, e.g. it's a higher-level construct. > > I didn't find that.

As long as it's valid UTF-8, yes, then it's valid. It's a pretty poor name for a property though. Then again, in languages like Java you can pretty much use any unicode character in your identifiers (with a couple of caveats for the first character)....
