On Linux file systems you can use any character except NULL, and / is a reserved character.

E.g. on ext-4 "All characters and character sequences permitted, except for NULL ('\0'), '/', and the special file names "." and ".." which are reserved for indicating (respectively) current and parent directories."

I once accidentally created a file with a newline character in it... it was pretty tricky to fix from command line.
