>I am going to create a program where a user can create their own tables, but I want to make sure that they don't name their table something that won't work. Is there a list of characters that can't be used in the names of tables? I am not using a database container, so do the tablenames have to be ten characters or less?

Table name can be longer than 10 characters, must start with a letter or underscore, followed by a string of letters, underscores, digits.
Field and index names have the same rules, but field names have a maximum of 10 characters if you have no DBC, and index names have a maximum of 10 characters, even with a DBC.
