What are the allowed character in snapchat username

I have been unable to find what the allowed characters are while creating a shapchat (https://www.snapchat.com/) username. Can anyone here share their knowledge regarding this?

Context: I am creating a username validation system.

N.B. I have tried support.snapchat.com - but it provides no information regarding the allowed characters in a username.

From page 6 of Snapchat's law enforcement guide:


Snapchat usernames:

  • Must be 3-15 characters long
  • Can’t contain spaces
  • Must begin with a letter
  • Can only contain letters, numbers, and the special characters hyphen ( - ), underscore ( _ ), and period ( . ), EXCEPT that the username:
    • Can’t begin with a number, hyphen, underscore, or period
    • Can’t end with a hyphen, underscore, or period
  • Can’t contain emojis or other symbols such as @, $, #, etc.
  • Will appear only in lower-case letters within the app
