Escaping wildcards in Perforce filenames
To refer to files containing the Perforce revision specifier wildcards (@ and #), file matching wildcard (*), or positional substitution wildcard (%%) in either the file name or any directory component, use the ASCII expression of the character’s hexadecimal value. ASCII expansion applies only to the following four characters:
- @ becomes %40
- # becomes %23
- * becomes %2A
- % becomes %25
