What special characters does kobo accept and what order do they appear in?

I've noticed for the normal alphabet, it goes
!, ", #, $, %, ', (), *, +, ,, -, /, [Numbers], :, ;, <, =, >, ?, @, [Letters]

Periods go somewhere before *'s, ♡'s go somewhere after +'s but before letters, and the ☁︎ emoji works for some reason. Is there a list of all available symbols somewhere?

i.e.
.Fantasy
.Urban Fantasy
.Epic Fantasy

+Sci-fi
+Cyperpunk
+Space Opera
Your sample are going to sort alphabetically. To have the order you want, you can put numbers after the symbols to keep the collections in order.
As to what symbols are allowed, I would think it doesn't matter as these collections names are not directory names but tags.
.01Fantasy
.02Urban Fantasy
.03Epic Fantasy
