   thanks.

   ps:
   I created a ticket in trac yesterday about this topic, but it has been deleted today.
   I don't know why.

   According to Sam, bbPress supports unicode display names, not unicode usernames:

   Not sure about future versions, but it sounds like version 1 isn't gonna support unicode usernames...

   There is a mini-plugin for i18n usersnames.

   But there are fundamental flaws in how bbPress uses usernames and unicode characters might interfere with proper operation.

   I also don't see any real attempt to sanitize in there, so there might be security risks.
