I've done some pre-work. You can find the allowed chars for SSIDs here. According with that ASCII-Table it results in the following rules:
(not sure which of them have to be escabed for bash/grep regex) (0-9, a-z, A-Z are meant as groups of all digits, letters, while ,-. is meant as the literal chars , - and .)
Two packages are now available in the staging repository for testing (xbian-package-config-shell and xbian-package-config-xbmc). The problem is that the comma is essential for the internal functioning of xbian-config CLI and cannot be bypassed. So the solution is to UTF-escape the comma in the SSID and convert it back in Kodi's xbian-config GUI. In the xbian-config CLI, however, the comma is displayed as \u002c and this is not changed. It is simply not worth it.
For me, SSIDs that contain a comma are displayed correctly, but I can't connect because my AP (hostapd) simply won't cooperate. The connection does not work with an Android 12 mobile phone either.
Not necessarily but possibly related to this: My Kodi cannot list wifi networks anymore.
