Are there any ASCII characters which are forbidden in a Pd symbol?
none. there are a few that are hard to create on a Pd-side (e.g. "\n"), and there is the infamous 123 (aka "{") which freezes the pd-gui when being displayed, but that is not a limitation of the Pd symbol.
so i think that you shouldn'd do any filtering on the packOSC/unpackOSC side (that is: i would even allow UTF-8, at least on the receiving side¹)

¹ and probably on the sending side as well; though you might turn this on/off with a special message (and make the default ASCII only)
