You are not providing any clues here, even not the full text for the 2084 error. You are not posting the domain name here. How would you expect help?
The characters allowed in a domain name have been defined in a RFC. I don't have the link handy, but I would guess you can find the RFC easily when you search on "RFC +DNS" on Google. And NO, I never saw this error. My guess though is you have a domain name ending in a dot and/or are using underscores.
