Revit will complain if you attempt to use them to name a view, sort of. If you create a drafting view and use something like "1/2:12" it won't complain. Try to rename it and you'll be in trouble with Revit. These characters will create errors when Revit tries to create the file using them. An odd quirky item to be sure.

A good many of us in the AEC business are familiar with the concept of using keynotes on drawings. Regardless, for us it is a system to reduce clutter on drawings by placing symbols that either carry numbers or letters or both to identify different conditions that we should look to a separate place to read more information.
