Description
Currently the
random_passwordresource allows to override the special characters. Terraform strings are UTF-8 because golang strings are UTF-8. When a user passes a character like german umlauts or other characters commonly used in the EU (€,ñ,ç,°ä,ü,ö,ß) theCreateStringfunctions butchers these because it is taking random bytes out of the allowed inputs. However all these character are multi byte UTF-8 character.
