That depends on the frontend. User space utilities like addgroup and
groupadd do forbid some characters, but the lower level c function calls
don't. They may truncate, but they don't forbid. This is probably not
you problem, unless you have something really, really odd (like a
punycode character) in there. Look at overlap. Post output of commands
that actually look up groups (not higher level policy layer level things
like addgroup, low-level things like getent or id).
Take care,
