You have to to escape the name with backticks like `kortbon ????`.
This should work.

Yes, but you have to make sure, that the tables are neither accessed
nor opened by the mysqld meanwhile. Safest is to shut down the server,
change the names and restart it.
Even better is to rename them using MySQL:
ALTER TABLE `kortbon ?????` RENAME kortbon;
