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.
