Comment (by bpetty):

 Username values related: #17793, #16833

 Also, this does not appear to actually be a bug, more of a feature request
 / enhancement.

 WP might not have been clear in the past, and may have allowed more, but
 there is a specific set of valid characters for usernames, and it doesn't
 even include the full ASCII range now. See #17793 for a patch currently
 open to make valid characters more clear in user creation error messages.

 I think it's safe to say at this point that the username values will never
 support any characters outside of it's current range of characters.
