Security requirements of a number of projects require the site to enforce a set of complexity for passwords. Usually this is some of the following:

  • mixture of upper and lowercase letters
  • at least one number
  • at least one "special character"

How is this to work on websites that are targeted at people that do not use the roman alphabet?

Good point. It seems that international corporate password standards, even those which are written in asia, only talk in terms of ASCII.

This stackoverflow answer hints that UTF-8 could be a support headache (normalising UTF-8 sounds painful).
