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.
