Yes. You have a node, domain and resource which you need to escape
before concatenating them into JID.

Well... You shouldn't show such a monstrosity to a user.
Use the JID parts wisely. Show username, domain eventually resource.

It's an invalid entry and you should return an error to the user.
You've asked for a JID and the text entered isn't a valid JID.
There is no way of telling which part is what without some external
information.
