No, that is why passwords are alphanumerical, keep your #€{*\$<€$<¥]+]!,’ to yourself.

The product I make deals with passwords. We’ve had several bugs over the years that came down to Unicode usernames and passwords containing unexpected characters. Solving them was simple, we just had to be sure to get the encoding and character sets right, but as an American it was eye opening to find so many people with the Euro symbol in password strings.
On other layouts that isn't enough. For example French keyboards are AZERTY, not QWERTY. and here in Sweden we have å, ä and ö next to the (tall) enter key, instead of the symbols US and UK have.
(Side note: those are not a and o with diacretics, they are entirely separate letters in the alphabets of the Nordic countries, with entirely different sounds.)
