Comment:

 No I don't think it matters since there are Cyrillic/East European
 characters in some domain names.

 I created a group with the name "любители летать" in buddypress and there
 was no problem with that. The problem was when creating groups with
 `<oOoOoOoOoO(°_°)`, and I think the best here would be to sanitize on
 creation of groups names that contain special characters like `<`.
 Creating a group with `oooooooooo(°_°)` results into this slug:
 http://localhost/groups/oooooooooo°_°/
 (no parenthesis). Same should be done with `<,>`.
