Honestly, it is super brain-dead that Linux and other operating systems still have such massive problems with "special" characters. Just the other day I had to help someone who had trouble building. The cause turned out to be that they had dropped filenames with parentheses in the source directory which, apparently, confused bash which make relies on. Such trash is everywhere on Linux systems. Eventually you learn to only use [a-zA-Z0-9-_.] in names because anything else will inevitably confuse some tool or another (even capital letters can be a PITA)... I so wish someone would take it upon themselves to clean up this mess, but it's probably too much work and too many who are nay-sayers conditioned to it who don't see the need for changes.
