Stick to [A-Za-z0-9-_.] characters in filenames, settings and such.Plus:
Write all your scripts to accommodate the presence of spaces and shell metacharacters in file names.
This is a true pain in the ass... I wish everybody could stick to iso-8859-1 or its siblings.
This is unrealistic, chauvinistic and atavistic.

My advice: Stick to [A-Za-z0-9-_.] characters in filenames, settings and such.
