How would you name s02e21 of Lost, whose title is simply a question mark?
Looks a bit weird:
I’m guessing I should just leave it with the blank episode description that FileBot assigned to it as that’s the closest I can get to the original?
? can be used in filenames, so why not use it? 
It’s an illegal character in Windows, so it won’t let me! 
If I try to force FileBot to use the question mark, it complains too:
Oops, didn’t know that… Works in Linux so I estimated the same for windows. It is only “cosmetic” since Plex does not read this information. What about writing it out: question mark?

Yah windows a no go with symbols in file names
Yeah it works fine in Linux and on macOS but Windows struggles with a few special characters and wants to have them outlawed!
I was thinking of calling it “Question Mark” actually. I’m just trying to figure out which name I find less annoying. 
It can handle quite a few but not as many as Linux and UNIX-based systems (like macOS), much to my chagrin.
I think I’m going to just leave it with no description. I’m pretty sure this is the only TV show in existence anyway which is called “?” It’s a bit of an outlier!

Just leave it out. Or use whatever you want. All the text after the season/episode code isn’t used anyway.
Both
Lost - s02e21.mkv
Lost - s02e21 - [question mark].mkv
will be equally fine.
