Can you specify what in practice could be an issue with a "forced" password? Are some characters harder to input than others or is it a different problem?
For the non-American aspect, it's extremely common for websites to force ASCII today (either explicitly, or because using anything else breaks in various unexpected ways) anyway, I doubt that any internet user around the globe will have an issue with that. That boat has sailed in the 90s.
