Listing title - are special characters allowed?

After running a site audit with my SEO tool, it flagged a few page links as 404s.

Embarrassingly I am unsure if special characters beyond letters allowed in listing titles?

I have Joomla 3.x site and noticed that for listings with "&" in the title, the page does not load and it returns a 404 error. This is whether I access it from a GeoMaps search or from a directory module. 

I tried to look in the documentation but did not see any mention of only using standard letters in title. If using special characters IS permitted, maybe the SEO rewrite of the page URL is causing the problem? I have the standard Joomla SEO rewrite enabled but I have no other SEO extensions installed.
