Bug: Can't create a note title that ends in a question mark

Is this a known limitation?

On attempting to create such a file, the page displays as uneditable HTML:

On macOS, filenames can have question marks. This is incredibly helpful for creating atomic notes in a PKM.

Thank you.

It’s almost certainly due to the fact that the page title becomes its URL, as shown in the screenshot:

Question mark starts “URL parameters”, so if you need it would have to be encoded as %3F. On my instance it creates a file like Title?.md but the app doesn’t show it nicely.

I remember a similar issue with images, maybe there will be some inspiration there:

Just to bump the thread, as I just encountered the issue.
Bug is still there, and the question mark can be anywhere within the page name to produce this unexpected behaviour.

Please report this as a bug on GitHub issues.
