Subject: info about ROWID?

Hello,
Sorry if this is a very basic question, but i couldn't find good information
about it.  In other databases, you normally define your ouwn ID, an integer.
Oracle 8i already has a ROWID. Using this ROWID should be faster if i have
to believe the docs. 
Should i use this ROWID in the tables or not? Any experiences?
Which characters can be contained in this ROWID? Does it give problems if i 
have to pass rowid's as parameters in servlets or cgiscripts? Is it possible
that it contains chars like ' " / ? \       


Thanks in advance for any help,
