Hey guys , Arabic Character in the link doesn't work

StavrosAyad

Hey Guys , I have a flaurm community that consists of some arabs , so they make their usernames in arabic , but when they give me the link of their profile like :
https://test.net/u/محمد
It won't work , but if i go through the comments and click on the user it works ?
Lol , So Who to fix that ?

StavrosAyad we only support ASCII in the username at this time. Special UTF-8 characters will result in the profile url and mentions not working.

The issue is reported here and you'll also find multiple linked issues flarum/core1949

clarkwinkelmann Hey Clark , srry for troubling you but i can't find the file that is mentioned in the solution link , and beside that me allowing the user to use space in his username .. will effect smthin ?

StavrosAyad one potential alternative for now: I believe there's a nickname extension that would allow non ascii characters in display names

StavrosAyad there is no official way to solve the issue at this point. If we or someone comes up with a good fix, a PR will be created, reviewed then published with the next beta.

I know some people have worked around the issue with some manual changes in ways we can't support, so I can't give any advice on that.
