More specifically, you can easily create a file containing a question
mark, e.g. "doc?.txt", and you can then create a file called "doca.txt".
No problem. However, if you try to reference an existing file and there
is more than one file whose names are identical except where the
question mark occurs the open will fail because the string you gave it
matches more than one file and so the shell doesn't know which file to
select. You can escape a character to remove its special properties or
enclose the string containing it in single quotes. The common characters
that this applies to are:

?     - the shell treats this as a single character wild card
*     - treated as a wild card matching zero or more characters
space - the shell uses space as an argument delimiter. Actually, it
        treats whitespace (space, tab and newline) as argument
        delimiters.

Similar rules apply to using semicolons, single and double quotes and
ampersands in file names.
