I think the first person to use an obfuscated name like lIiḷ|ḷiIl was pretty clever.
This has me really curious about the most obfuscated, ambiguous/difficult/problematic possible usernames both for security/privacy and interesting anomalies in general.
Feel like one could make a whole book on this -- please send any resources that could shed insight if possible
I don’t know what technically constitutes the most troublesome username, but surely some of the kaomoji Japanese folks have come up with are up there. Good luck trying to type these.

You have me curious to know more. I already know some Japanese from being a weeb, but could you explain what makes your example so difficult to type specifically? I only recognize one of the many symbols used
I wonder if you can break copy-paste by mixing in similar looking characters from a right-to-left language.
Actually a security concern for the web: IDN homograph attack
