I think he did not say "unsupported". But I would say that it would be
a pain to explain that space key works different in text boxes than in
a word processor.

Unix allows it, tested. Unix allows anything except /. You have to
type "\?".

Tab is valid (under bash type \ ctrl-v tab), but not very used. Space
is valid and used. I tested all of them. It is funny the garbage you
can put in an Unix like filesystem (sometimes even create problems,
with files named "-something").
