In Common Lisp, |...|can be used to quote characters in a character name; it can avoid commonly forbidden characters, such as spaces, and also disables case conversion.
fooor :foohave symbol-nameof"FOO"|temp files|or :|temp files|have symbol-nameof"temp files"||has a name "", an empty string that otherwise cannot be created
(The colon here has the usual meaning of a keyword symbol (a character in a packet KEYWORD) and is column independent.)
