Interesting that unicode support is suggested. Emoji passwords could be fun.

Characters are characters. The system I just wrote will accept anything, because the first thing I do with it is hash it. If you want to make your password:

░▒▓█ ʥ۞ݔݯݲݸݴݺ '; drop table users; 🤣💩ʩ █▓▒░

Then go for it. More power to you for typing that out or, more likely, letting your password manager remember it. Make your password as entropic as you can manage, I don't care how you arrive there.
