    I am also seeing this problem on my RD client version 10.4.5 (5227) on my iPhone Xs Max. The prompt for "PC Name" gives 7 examples of IP addresses and URL names, some of which contain colons and/or square brackets. But, if you try to enter those characters, you are told that they are in the set of illegal characters for a PC Name. I see no way to specify an alternate port for the remote connection.
