Hi @jasmeeners,
Per my research, we haven't found any issue when use blanks in the internal name of sharepoint list column. For special characters, you could refer to following document:
Restrictions and limitations in OneDrive and SharePoint
The display name is the name that is shown to end user. The internal name is obtained from display name but all special characters and spaces are replaced with Unicode. As the sample in your case, the internal name will auto replace special characters with Unicode if you don't set it. But the internal name could be completely different from display name. For example, your display name is Test3 or Test(s)
, and your internal name could be any thing like abc
or test abc
. You can name it according to your preference.
The best example to understand the internal name is the “Modified By” field which is having the internal name “Editor”. When you edit the column name and change it to something totally different, the internal name doesn’t change.
