Special characters in Item Numbers

Are there any reasons that one should avoid using special characters (such as # $ & / etc) in an item number?

The only common reason relates to import/export. Special characters usully end up acting as a "stop" command in ASCII and during import/export anything after them will not be read.

That's what I thought. But thanks for the confirmation.

We have 10000 items and the majority have ' and " markers (inch and feet). This was a MAJOR catastrophe when attempting to convert from DBA CLassic to DBA Next Generation (Ezijobz). Classic doesn't mind, but it's the eventual export that will be a problem.
