I am Swedish and when I registered at this great site, I wanted to honor my heritage by using having my UserID in Swedish. I was disappointed that 3 letters in the Swedish alphabet couldn't be used: �, �, �.
I greatly enjoy the games on this site but i think that something should should be done about this.
Hi ThunderBolt,
thanks for your response. As I am chinese it would be also convenient if I could use chinese character. However, not all machine could display non-ascii character, see the swedish alphabet appears on my screen is �, �, �.
From a system development point of view the userId is unique/ indexable and easy identifiable. Making it a non ascii / utf 8 or some other format, will require some work.
From a user point of view, I would like to feedback in userid, if the id is some strange character, that would make the experience quite odd.
Regards
P.
I did not know it was an issue with the program, there is no need to do lots of work to change it.
