I guess everything but parentheses would be the answer?) A symbol name can contain any characters whatever. Most symbol names are written with letters, digits, and the punctuation characters `-+=*/'. Such names require no special punctuation; the characters of the name suffice as long as the name does not look like a number. (If it does, write a `\' at the beginning of the name to force interpretation as a symbol.) The characters `_~!@$%^&:<>{}?' are less often used but also require no special punctuation. Any other characters may be included in a symbol's name by escaping them with a backslash. (info "(elisp)Symbol Type") -- Johan Bockgård
