That's correct. We try to avoid spaces, slashes, High-ASCII characters, #, %, &, !, ?, and other punctuation marks. The only punctuation marks we ever use are a regular dash (-) and an underscore (_). We use that methodology for filenames, folder names, project names, and database names. If you remove the illegal characters, it should work fine in a Relink situation.
I'm surprised that "Illegal Characters" are not a topic in the Resolve user manual. We consider this a very standard part of workflow at our company. We also warn clients not to change filenames during the edit process: it's amazing how neophyte filmmakers want to change a camera file name like A002_C002_102691_001 to "SC32-4," to reflect the scene & take numbers of the project. We'd always rather they keep the original file name (which uses legal characters) and only change the information in the metadata.
