What characters are illegal on the filename on iOS or OS X?

What characters are illegal on the filename on iOS or OS X?

For example, char "/" is illegal. I need to remove all of them and only them.

Solution

  • Illegal characters on the HFS file system:

    • : - illegal char.
    • / - it's poor to use it.
    • \0 - not sure, but don't use it too.
