Huh, I'm surprised emojis aren't more popular for SSIDs... can't wait until this knowledge spreads more and we'd have a vomit of color when we open the "Wireless Networks" menu. OTOH for most people the SSID is "Linksys 4FBD" or similar... |

And to think that one of the major reasons behind having random strings after <Vendor name> (Apart from non-technical people in apartment blocks being super confused), is so that you can't go around rainbow tables that work for large swathes of the routers you would encounter.

You're limited to 32 bytes, which limits the spew somewhat. Some emoji are up to 4 bytes long, so you can in theory get a sequence of 8 of them in a row if you want. Should encourage a little bit of creativity to fit within those lines...
I don't even want to know if any system would process things like bell characters or Right to Left special character...
Unrelated note: Had to file a bug last month because OpenWrt's web interface kept accepting more than that and stopping wireless from coming back up when you tried. Javascript length checks are weird.
