Thank you.

You don't need to maintain a list of illegal characters, because you can use regex to find any character that's not in the list of legal characters. For example, this regex pattern matches any illegal character:

[^\da-zA-Z #$&_"+./:\-\[\]\']

Google gives the following as legal characters: http://google.com/apis/adwords/developer/Keyword.html under the field "text".

This makes me assume that the following are illegal: @ * ( ) ~ ` ? ^ = < > ^ { } | \ ; %

If there are any illegal characters that I am missing, please let me know.

Google will complain about criteria added through the API that contain illegal characters. I want my application to check for illegal characters before submitting them to Google. However, Google does not seem to publish a list of valid or invalid characters. Has anyone come across such a list that I might have missed?
