Is that what you guys are attempting to achieve?

If we are trying to suggest a filename that is safe by avoiding certain characters, I suspect leaving a backslash and dq as-is is just as bad as leaving a CR in. So if that is the goal here, I think it might be better and a lot simpler to just replace each run of bytes not in Portable Filename Character Set with an underscore '_'.
