Sometimes the backing database is a legacy system that can only accept certain encodings or symbols.
- bob1029 5y agoThis is why almost every bank website has this limitation today.
- muzani 5y agoNot only this but I've seen databases that accept emojis but break them during some form of migration. It's fine to break some kind of description, but not username and password.
