Write error with filenames that have "?"

Getting error when copying installed applications "Where's My Perry? 1.1.0.apk" and "Where's My Water? 1.9.0.apk". Get "Error writing to target file!" Only get this with "?" mark perhaps?
Thanks,

"?" is not allowed in standard Windows file names. It's a wildcard like *

BTW, is it allowed in Linux?

Where did you try to copy them? I could copy an app with a '?' in the name to the internal SD-Card without problems on my Nexus 7. But I couldn't copy it to a FAT32-formatted USB stick mounted with stickmount. So it's probably a file system problem.
Btw, a similar problem exists with a dictionary from "Hacker's Keyboard" named:
HK "English (en)" Dictionary
because of the double quotes. I'm already replacing these characters:
:|><
so I will add
"*?
too.
