Yeah, you can easily change which characters to allow and disallow in a certain config file. When I set up the beta server, I added a few symbols, but that's probably one I forgot. :<
I haven't added many symbols back then, just the common ones, since I think that the fewer symbols are allowed, the better it is. You know how hard it is to decipher or type certain names when they contain an assload of symbols ...
