It does. RTFS. (-8

 From ntfs-driver-tng/linux/fs/ntfs/layout.h:

/*
  * The maximum allowed length for a file name.
  */
#define MAXIMUM_FILE_NAME_LENGTH 255

/*
  * Possible namespaces for filenames in ntfs (8-bit).
  */
typedef enum {
         FILE_NAME_POSIX = 0x00,
                 /* This is the largest namespace. It is case sensitive and
                    allows all Unicode characters except for: '\0' and '/'.
                    Beware that in WinNT/2k files which eg have the same name
                    except for their case will not be distinguished by the
                    standard utilities and thus a "del filename" will delete
                    both "filename" and "fileName" without warning. */
         FILE_NAME_WIN32 = 0x01,
                 /* The standard WinNT/2k NTFS long filenames. Case
insensitive.
                    All Unicode chars except: '\0', '"', '*', '/', ':', '<',
                    '>', '?', '\' and '|'. Further, names cannot end with a '.'
                    or a space. */
         FILE_NAME_DOS = 0x02,
                 /* The standard DOS filenames (8.3 format). Uppercase only.
                    All 8-bit characters greater space, except: '"', '*', '+',
                    ',', '/', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?' and '\'. */
         FILE_NAME_WIN32_AND_DOS = 0x03,
                 /* 3 means that both the Win32 and the DOS filenames are
                    identical and hence have been saved in this single filename
                    record. */
} __attribute__ ((__packed__)) FILE_NAME_TYPE_FLAGS;
