Re: When they can enter any character, what do you tell them?

I'd suggest that you tell them to use a particular character to separate
values (say, a comma), but in a footnote - or somewhere else outside of the
main text - mention that this is just a recommended "best practice" and the
user can use any, or no, characters between values.

[...] If you are writing documentation for the syntax users have to enter to
use a feature, and they can separate values provided in a field with
anything they choose...or not separate them at all, do you tell them that?
