Shell is evil as Lennart said.

Then I say, escaping non-ascii char is also evil.

mount point should use only printable and type-able name, aka, valid
UTF-8 string.

Among them, / and - can be used, since unit file name can't contain /, /
is escaped as -.
What about - ? Lennart said, Oh, please use \xAB ...

That is not *elegant* and *obvious*.
And \ is then also need to be escaped.

SO, please, escape '-' as '--' (double '-'),  no more further escaping.

If user want to use *valid* but non-printable path as mount point, they
are simply doing the wrong way. Still, I doubt any one would do that.
