From NR:
"The name of a [LilyPond-]variable should have alphabetic characters
only; no numbers, underscores or dashes."

Thanks.  I had a hard time finding this in the manual.

With quotation marks, you can break a lot of the rules:

%%%%
\version "2.19.83"

"Anything?! { c'4 } 😀" = { c'4 }

{ \"Anything?! { c'4 } 😀" }
%%%%

Whether it is prudent to do such a thing is another matter.  (:
