iRedMail/iRedAdmin in general complies with RFC's, the RFC seems to state that you cannot have those characters in any e-mail. So even if we allowed it, then you wouldn't be able to send or receive e-mails as this as it'd either break mail locally, or on remote servers.
There is an experimental RFC http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5335 which supports this but as it is Experimental, it is not widely implemented. Sorry about this.
