What are the criteria for a username?

On a number of occasions, I have attempted to change a username and been told it's not available despite there not being an existing user by that name.
Why would that be?

 

Thanks

Containing special not allowed characters maybe.

One wonders at times the reason why someone would want to change their username. In this case there is an appropriate reason based on my research on Google.

 

“Uppercase delta (Δ) at most times means “change” or “the change” in maths.”

Which is what I was asking.

Is a space still allowed?

Spaces used to be allowed.

Why and when was it changed?

 

It was at least 6 years ago.  That's when I first was made aware of the change.
