Comment(by miqrogroove):

 You are welcome to test all of those characters.  Half of them are valid
 in Windows and will cause no problem.  The other half are invalid and will
 throw a PHP Warning, which is not desirable.  All other characters are
 valid and should not need escaping above the PHP layer.
