Question mark in titles

Now that I started using Obisidian, I notice that I really often want to use a question mark in my note titles. What is the reason that this is unsupported, and can it be changed?

If you’re on windows, ? is forbidden from filenames at an OS level, nothing Obsidian can do about that.
If you’re on *nix (inc linux or mac) it is allowed by the system and Obsidian could allow it

Thanks, I’m on mac. Makes sense to block the ? there as well, for portability of vaults between operating systems.

This would be really handy…

Not to shit on Windows, but I never use it. A toggle in Obsidian to allow * " \ / < > : | ? on *nix would be very handy! There are so many titles I’d like to use them in.
