Special characters removed from published file names of SCORM

Has anyone heard of an LMS not accepting special characters anywhere in the file names of SCORM 1.2 ZIPs?

E.g.:

• All special characters (! @ # $ % ^ & * , - ? / ; : \ | ( ) space) removed from published file names (LMS)

I got this request, and I believe it's for Saba LMS. I did find some mobile gesture images that had "@" in them. This was using Captivate 2017. I did my best to try and hunt down where any files that contained special characters were located and referenced once published. This was my process below that I documented so I could repeat it. I'll find out soon enough if it worked!
