That depends on the filesystem.  This is the case for most (if not all)
*nix filesystems, but I think OS X's filesystem has more restrictions.
If I recall correctly, POSIX only specifies which characters *must* be
allowed in filenames, and that's a fairly small list.  Anything beyond
that is just icing on the cake.
