Public bug reported: I was trying to make an account during the installation of Ubuntu with a password that included the section symbol (ยง), but this kept making ubi- usersetup crash with exit code 2. In addition, the change password window seems to have frozen after I tried to change my password (post- installation) to include the same character.
