Valid characters for file names

So there are basically two reasons why characters would be considered illegal by Obsidian:

  • links invalidation: []#^|
  • file systems limitation: \/: and ? for Android

Other than these most characters are legal, like those emojis being unicode characters, and most other unicode characters, like stuff with accents/diacritics: áāãőůçĉ, and national characters like æøåßþƴðđ.

So feel free to use characters rather freely. See also Internal links and special characters - #2 by holroy
