Well, even it's not the central point of the discussion let make this assertion more correct. It depends on file system. E.g. JFS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JFS_%28file_system%29) abides to this rule while very popular ext4 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4) does not. In addition to NUL character, the latter forbids '/' as well.

Best,
