Description
As a security measure, disable mixing different alphabets in a name. Or, at least, disable using similarly-looking characters.
The same measure is used by many large DNS registrators. If there is a table of homoglyphs, we may use it.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named, so first identify where names are validated in the affected Moera repository. Review the stated DNS registrar precedent and the possible homoglyph table, then define the intended policy before implementation. Done requires an agreed rule with tests for the selected behavior.
