Why can’t my username contain special characters?
Your username needs to be valid across multiple existing and future protocols and services. So we permit only the “lowest common denominator”. That means no dot, underscore, accents, non-roman letters or emoji is allowed.
Note that most clients let you set your “display name” to anything you want.
