Damn aha, there are a lot of 3 characters out there.

Does Unicode count as a visible character? Like a TM?

Also does anybody know why this was done? It seems like an odd rule, is it to help search for users?

Unsure if my username is allowed or not considering the B is a special character? I understand this is for the invisible chars, but I heard any sort of special characters in usernames are not allowed?

Would this user's username count as a violation? https://hackforums.net/member.php?action=profile&uid=2761500

You have 4 visible characters so I think it is, but not certain. 🤝

Well you have no hidden characters (since space isn't really a hidden character) so you're not intentionally breaking the rules.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

There are 4 visible characters though so you are fine.
