A character may have different byte or byte sequence representations, depending on the applied character set. So it will make a difference when creating the hash. I think the documentation (Release Notes) should make it clear if it is possible to use characters outside the 7-bit US-ASCII range and if so, which character set is to be used when passing them. If it is restricted to 7-bit ASCII, that's OK. But it should be documented so we can take it into account when entering passwords. In this case, "character" and "byte" is the same but I also think the documentation shouldn't mix these terms as it does now.
