what are the valid characters in an ASN.1 name?

what are the valid characters in an ASN.1 name?

In ASN.1 you'll have definitions like this:

id-ad-ocsp         OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= { id-ad 1 }

X.680 (page 22) says the following:

Each production consists of the following parts, on one or several lines, in order:

a) a name for the new permitted sequence of lexical items;

b) the characters

::=

c) one or more alternative sequences of lexical items, as defined in 5.3, separated by the character

So the id-ad-ocsp bit is a name. But what are the valid characters in a name?
