Office 365 Groups with IDN e-mail addresess
This a really great question and I would like to know also the answer because some Spanish caracters and I can think in german ones could fall under the same situation....maybe TonyRedmond can help here
More of an issue for cfiessinger Krish Gali to address. Exchange Online doesnt yet support full internationalization afaik, which is probably part of the problem.
I have no act or part to play here. Microsoft owns this issue. The long-term solution is to provide better control over the email addresses generated by Groups. The short-term solution is to assign new email addresses to the groups after they are created. This is easily done with Set-UnifiedGroup -PrimarySMTPAddress.
Looking at this a little more, I see that I cannot use Žlutí koníci for a group name in my tenant, probably because I don't use Czech for the admin language. The validation for the group identifier (alias) field is probably where the problem lies. If the form highlighted the need to use basic latin characters, the admin would know immediately that they have a problem with the name and can then adjust the identifier as they wish to create a nice email address. Unless I have misunderstood the issue?
