A couple of points against supporting unicode passwords, that I tend to agree with. Just for a reference point behind reasoning for not introducing support ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1797777/should-i-support-unicode-in-passwords )
@Bloot I changed the issue title to better represent the issue. The interpretation of bytes is not what you are supposed to do when hashing the passwords.
There is not currently a plan to accept arbitrary characters in password data, however, pull requests are welcome.
