This is a list of NTFS and Google Drive-friendly ASCII chars that can be used to substitute some of the forbidden ones:

Remember you need to hold down the ALT key on your keyboard while you type the number with the numpad.

also the semi-colon (;) can be used instead of a colon (:). It looks a little weird, but it's a safe alternative anyway.

I will need to check every code on that page to see which ones are safe to use.

If you or somebody knows other codes, please share.
