      Similar to SERVER-10897, if drivers and the server don't engage in some canonicalization process for passwords, there is a strong risk for mismatches when the input device used by the end user produces a different encoding of a multi-code-point character, or a character that has multiple code point representations (a.k.a, greek capital omega and the Ohm symbol).
