Well, 72 bytes is still far away from 16 characters. Also, nearly every website is able to allow passwords longer than 16 chars, so it is definitely possible somehow!? This limit is ridiculous

1. Unicode has no idea of "bytes" at all.

2. Only in the UTF-32 encoding, which no one uses, are all characters represented by 4 bytes.

Most sites today use UTF-8 where most characters on a standard keyboard are 1 byte, and almost all characters from any language take 3 bytes.

3. Even 19 characters is a lot better than 12.

No, but they don't support it anyways
