The most common example I see is the password requirement that it must be between 8 and 16 characters... The 16 character limit is the main issue there... You know it has to do with the wya the data is stored.

Between 8 and 16 characters, but only 7 bit ASCII. But there is no error message if you use ยง in your password, it just kills the server.
