Azure Search: How to make a field globally unique

I'm creating an Azure Search index and would like a field to be globally unique. Initially, I tried using the id field for this purpose, but it looks like certain characters are not allowed in the id field. Is it possible to define a field as globally unique at the time of index schema creation?

"key"- Unique identifier for documents within the index. Exactly one field must be chosen as the key field and it must be of type Edm.String. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-what-is-an-index#attributes

If you encounter characters not being supported in Azure Search, have a look at base64 encoding your field using field mappings.
