Valid email format not recognized

The account form here: https://registration.ca.powerschool.com/family/Account/profile uses an invalid email format checker.  New top-level domains and valid unicode characters are not allowed, even though they are completely valid.  My email is in the format abc@def.family (which is valid) but throwing an error "The email address is not in a valid format."

 

Interestingly, my account in this community *does* allow these emails.

 

The format and validation of an email address is actually covered by IETF here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6530 It's surprisingly complex and you should really use a library to do this.
