Special characters supported in bcrypt encryption

Question

In our application, we are using bcrypt for hashing the credentials.

What are all the special characters accepted other than available special characters in keyboard?

For example, i have analysed about dash https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash . In this link there are many types in dash. Is these all kind of dash will be allowed in bcrypt?

I just want to confirm all other special characters list regarding this.

Answer 1

bcrypt works on bytes, not on characters, so the characters supported by bcrypt are the characters supported by whatever encoding you're using.

If you're using Latin-1 as your encoding, the supported characters will be all Latin-1 characters. If you're using a Unicode encoding, such as UTF-8, then the supported characters will be all Unicode characters.
