FindFirstFile(Ex) wildcard characters

Question

The Windows API FindFirstFile() and FindFirstFileEx() accept wildcard characters for the path to search, "for example, an asterisk (*) or a question mark (?)". No where can I actually find an explanation of which others (if any) characters it accept, and more importantly what they mean in the context of FindFirstFile.

Can someone please provide an explanation? Thanks.

You found them all, there are no other ones in currently shipping versions of Windows. The exact pattern matching behavior isn't documented anywhere that I can find, looks like MSFT wants to keep that flexible for some kind of future revision.

The shell pattern matching behaves the same as FindFirstFile, that's documented here.
