In addition to letters and numbers, I know you can use any of these:
. , ; ' ` ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & ( ) - _ + = < > [ ] { } <space>
I know you cannot use ? * / : or " since they either are part of the filename path or are wildcards used in file searches.
I don't know about \ or |.
I almost never use spaces in my file names since you run into trouble when you forget to put quotes around the name/path. Also, I've seen a DOS command have trouble with & (I think it was the FOR command but I'm not sure). And I personally don't like using periods since under some circumstances it can lead to confusion regarding the file extension.
Unlike UNIX, putting a period at the beginning of a file name does not make it a hidden file; you need to change the file's hidden attribute for that.
