These nodenames are unexpectedly legal:

minetest.register_node("::", {})
minetest.register_node("::::::::", {})
minetest.register_node(":% %", {}) -- There's a space between the %
minetest.register_node(":图是由若干给定的", {})
minetest.register_node(": ", {}) -- There's a space after the colon
minetest.register_node(":\"", {})

These nodenames are unexpectedly legal: ``` minetest.register_node("::", {}) minetest.register_node("::::::::", {}) minetest.register_node(":% %", {}) -- There's a space between the % minetest.register_node(":图是由若干给定的", {}) minetest.register_node(": ", {}) -- There's a space after the colon minetest.register_node(":\"", {}) ```

minetest.register_node(":\n", {})
minetest.register_node(":	", {}) -- tab key
minetest.register_node(":😍", {})

``` minetest.register_node(":\n", {}) minetest.register_node(": ", {}) -- tab key minetest.register_node(":😍", {}) ```

To place them in the world, do

//lua core.set_node({x=-3, y= 10, z= 368},{name = "\""})

According to https://github.com/minetest/minetest/blob/master/doc/lua_api.md?plain=1#L293 there is a node naming convention, which is "enforced by the mod loader". Allowed are modname:[a-zA-Z0-9_]

Surprising that there is such an explicitly stated convention. But it's also good that it's there. Splitting a node name by : and checking which mod it comes from is pretty common in my mods. The nodenames listed in the issue would be troublesome.
