> So what happens when you drawterm from a un*x box or access a VFAT partition?

nothing.  i'm running ken's fs, so from drawterm i have 

        ; echo > 'silly file'
        ; lc silly*
        'silly file'
        ; cd /tmp
        ; echo > 'silly file'
        silly file: rc: can't open: 'silly file' create/wstat -- bad character 
in file name

> Un*x seems a harder issue since no character is actually illegal, 

\0 is illegal.  well, not so much illegal as impossible to specify.
(wide characters notwithstanding.)
