    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8.3_filename

    VFAT, a variant of FAT with an extended directory format, was introduced in Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.5. It allowed mixed-case Unicode long filenames (LFNs) in addition to classic 8.3 names by using multiple 32-byte directory entry records for long filenames (in such a way that old 8.3 system software will only recognize one as the valid directory entry).

[1] Some file formats, such as .txt or .text, may be listed multiple times.

    The first of these characters or "characters", the replacement character, is forbidden because the MediaWiki software uses the replacement character to represent invalid UTF-8 sequences, and cannot differentiate this use as a placeholder from an actual instance of the replacement character.

  9. Slash (punctuation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_(punctuation)

    Though the slash is a reserved character prohibited in Windows file and folder names, the big solidus is permitted (first box above). In this context, it is very similar to the slash (second box). As a very common character, the slash (as "slant") was originally encoded in ASCII with the decimal code 47 or 0x2F. [47]
