Request to lemmy: can you please allow non-latin letters as well

submitted by Allah

I wish it was allowed to have persian letter usernames maybe even symbols as usernames it looks really cool and increases the username pool as well.

Welp, at least it works. It's called punycode, and some browsers have disabled it by default due to Cyrillic letters posing a security risk. For non-domains, percent-encoding is available.
