Body

I've got an action with the following - name: "🔍 Check improvements with Mudlet's C++ style guide" which has been working out pretty great for a number of years. Recently I added a follow-up action that depends on this action for completion with workflows: ["🔍 Check improvements with Mudlet's C++ style guide"], however Github didn't seem to like it:

Is this intended?

The emoji doesn't seem to be the problem, as it it removed, it is still an issue:

Encountered an issue parsing workflow trigger(s) "Check improvements with C++ style guide" in a workflow. Please ensure any special characters are escaped.

Have you tried to escape all special glob chars of your workflow name? (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#filter-pattern-cheat-sheet)

workflows: ["🔍 Check improvements with Mudlet's C\\+\\+ style guide"]

idk if this is your problem here, but I have not tested it myself. I'm pretty shure \ allows you to escape any glob char, even if the GitHub Docu doesn't mention it

That must be it, because removing + also did the job.
