Funny, because I thought the load time was the primary reason and the "stupid things" might or might not of been a part of it, which is why I said "and such".
I guess it goes to show how little I know about computers.

While it's true that "extended characters" use more bytes (at least in UTF8 encoding), for all intents and purposes on The Internet, to say that they're restricted because of longer load times is absolutely ridiculous.
The reason they're restricted is because people would do stupid things like using zalgo text, which screws up the formatting on the page. There are posts which still exist on Bungie.net where people have done things like that in the past. Search for a while and you'll find them.
