Is it OK to start a task list with an exclamation mark (!)?

I created several task lists with names starting in an exclamation mark, e.g. "!A-close range", "!Z someday". These lists do not show up in my Tasks view.
However, the associated tasks do show up, **in other lists**! Therefore, even if excluding the ! is an intentional syntax feature, I see a bug.

Hi philipreedtech,
It's important to start a task with its name before adding its list. If you have any further problems, would it be possible to contact us with some examples?
