The kernel doesn't seem to be very picky:
19: &foo: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN
link/ether 72:4d:34:b2:a0:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
20: &foo!: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN
link/ether 5e:3e:7c:90:b1:31 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
21: &foo!(): <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN
link/ether 1e:ae:1e:1f:97:36 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
22: &foo![]: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN
link/ether 72:b9:3a:27:b4:6c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
23: &fo+o![]: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN
link/ether d2:91:08:b7:26:cd brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
The only character that I've found so far that it doesn't like is '%'.
