Problem - Password not working (contained a unicode char):
Some days ago i tried to login into one of my accounts, but seems password not working anymore. So i thought, probably i changed it without writing me a notice about new password. So i requested a reset for my password. A new password was sent to me *yeah*. Login working. So i decided me to set new password, which i thought would be the correct password at beginning of this fascinating story. Now i cannot login again :/. So there must be a problem with my choosen password, which was no problem at past.
My password has length 22 and crazy symbol § inside, so probably one of these are the problem.

This mean you can use only ascii chars. 0-9, a-z, A-Z and +- etc.

THANK YOU

Proposal:
In my opinion its important that an info is added, which chars allowed to use for password. That includes password changing within Manaplus client and TMW registration webpage https://www.themanaworld.org/registration.php.

I only tested Manaplus feature "changing password", which accepted my password with unicode char § inside, but TMW server could not handle the password at next login. So thats surely big frustation for players, who try to use an uncommon password instead of "123456" as password. And players reject playing here, if there registration is accepted, but they cannot login. People want play game at beginning, not to report bugs or thinking what goes wrong.

The whole "remove control chars" code is definitely poorly-thought-out.
