Hey all, wanted to suggest an improvement to the forms.  
Would be great if we can expand form validation options in the Text Input component by adding a new property: Restricted characters.

Use case:  
If I don’t want usernames to contain emojis, or spaces, or special characters, etc.

Any update on this issue?  
I’d love to have that for my app too.

No, that’s not available.

For advanced validation, you need to use a Custom Form.
