Valid file-name characters

[Randall R Schulz]

Wayne,

As far back as Unix v6 (for a quaint old processor called the PDP-11) the 
only characters forbidden for use in Unix path names were the slash and the 
NUL.

Just out of curiosity, are there any Unix or Unix-alike systems with 
Unicode file name support? Linux? Windows?
