Huh?  On our System Vr2 3B20 I just created such a file name, viz:

$ ls

$ od -c .
0000000   4 020   .  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
0000020  \0   !   .   .  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
0000040   4 021 377  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
0000060
