The description of the MerchantTxnID parameter in the «AlphaHPP» → «Paypage Request Reference» → «Request a Paypage Session» documentation section says:
Supported special characters are
/and.

But which characters are considered «special» and «not special» exactly?
For example, I have noticed that AlphaHPP accepts the - (dash) character.
Is it «special» or «not special», and why exactly?
