Michael Osipov commented on LANG-1533:
--------------------------------------

Maybe this should be tigher: printable ASCII chars only.

> When generating random strings we should not include char 0x00 by default. This is problematic for many tools and libraries. For example, if we try to save this value on a PosgreSQL database we'll get:
>  
> {quote}PSQLException: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00
> {quote}
>  
> Currently we are avoiding some code code-point ranges. We should also skip {{codePoint=0}}
> {code:none}
