unicode - Are email addresses allowed to contain non-alphanumeric characters? -
i'm building website using `django. website have significant users non-english speaking countries.
i want know if there technical restrictions on types of characters email address contain.
are email addresses allowed contain english alphabets, numbers, "_", "@" , "."?
are allowed contain non-english alphabets "é" or "ü"?
are allowed contain chinese or japanese or other unicode characters?
email address consists of 2 parts local
before @ , domain
goes after.
rules these parts different:
for local part
can use ascii:
- latin letters - z - z
- digits 0 - 9
- special characters !#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~
- dot ., not first or last, , not in sequence
- space , "(),:;<>@[] characters allowed restrictions (they allowed inside quoted string, backslash or double-quote must preceded backslash)
- plus since 2012 can use international characters above
u+007f
, encoded as utf-8.
domain part
more restricted:
- latin letters - z - z
- digits 0 - 9
- hyphen -, not first or last, multiple hyphens in sequence allowed.
^(([^<>()\[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+(\.[^<>()\[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+)*)|(\".+\"))@(([^<>()[\]\.,;:\s@\"]+\.)+[^<>()[\]\.,;:\s@\"]{2,})
hope saves time.
