I mean, on the one hand, I guess why be restrictive, but on the other I feel like requiring something that looks like language somehow might be a good idea to avoid edge cases and attacks.

You can have new lines in your file names. YSAP has a good video/playlist about how to deal with these and many more.

could you have ..? I assume most terminals would just spell out .\x200b.?

Or use a hair space so it looks almost the same. Or .. but you've added the right-to-left unicode character. I'm guessing there's something that looks a lot like a period, too.

If ext4 doesn't include restrictions terminals probably should.
