You need some idea about name mangling, then you can made some implementation.
And later you can always learn more and do better.
I know a company that hired more people analysing these M$ formats than to develop their own product. I think most people have now seen the light and dropped M$ products.

There are two approaches to this replacement issue :-

1) Trial and error like you propose.

2) Systematic analysis: collect all possible replacement options and prepare a set of small files that contain all these possible characters. Upload them and see what happens with the file names. I think this approach is useful when you limit it to the most important hosts.
