It might actually be worthwhile using Twitter's official JavaScript text processing library (twitter/twitter-text-js) here.

I'm not sure that library is really all that useful here (it is intended for parsing tweets, not creating them, although certainly some of their regexps might be helpful...).

Until we come up with a better/fancier solution, for now I think stripping all non-alphanumeric characters (plus underscores) is a safe and easy way to handle this.

Open to suggestions though.
