Research direction

Start by reading the linked Datadog issue for the invalid-Unicode behavior, then inspect this package’s metric emission paths. Determine how metric names, values, and tag values are emitted; done means invalid Unicode is prevented from reaching upstream across each specified category, with coverage for the affected behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

See https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-agent/issues/35038 for more information; we should try to prevent this data from making its way upstream.

I suppose we could also do this inside of the Datadog client.
