Yes -- in the word entries. If you look in the beginning of the big cmudict file, you'll find them used there. Generally speaking, the only distinctions used in parsing dictionary files are whitespace and parentheses.
If you are referring to characters used in the names of the phones, you'll need to be a little careful. Many special characters are OK, but some can cause problems the was SphinxTrain is implemented. See Bug 1174291 ( 2005-03-31). Evandro may have fixed some of the problems, but I can't say if all have been fixed.
cheers,
