Channel Naming Character Support
Channel names currently cannot contain apostrophes (') or ampersands (&), which creates awkward naming for common terms (e.g., "Heroine's Journey" becomes "Heroine-s Journey", "Q&A" becomes "Q-A"). Please consider allowing these characters in channel names for better readability.

Allow additional channel name characters
I repeatedly want to use the ‘&’ symbol in channel names, for example to call a channel Q&A or Guides & Recs, or whatever. please add these characters to the allowed ones.

It will be very useful to have option to add special characters :)

Yes please… Especially when channel names are so restrictive and can't be repeated, even though they can belong to a specific group.
It doesn't make any sense, more so when you have cohort-based courses with modules that each cohort would get. And I can't use parentheses "Name (M1)", for example. Only "Name - M1", which isn't as visually appealing/clear. Hyphens can be missed when scanning/rushing.
P.S. The same applies to the docs sections --- you can't use "&" or any other symbol there, either. Please allow this.
