“Bio can’t include ‘invalid characters'”
Oh well: some profile characters give you a “Bio can’t include ‘invalid characters'” error.
This is forbidden:

But this is allowed:

I solved it thanks to these links:
- [WayBack] Unicode Utilities: Confusables
- [WayBack] Homoglyph – Wikipedia
- [WayBack] Generating confusable, lookalike strings · lookout.net
- [WayBack] Visual Spoofing
I’m not the only one bumping into this; you can not put imperial height either: [WayBack] eve peyser on Twitter: “WHY WONT TWITTER LET ME PUT MY HEIGHT IN MY BIO I SMELL A CONSPIRACY https://t.co/4CCNgNLTFu”
I tested ‘ and ” so they are not invalid any more.
