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.

    Punycode would work here better I think as it’s plain ASCI with no special characters except a dash if I recall correctly.

      Punycode is not solving the same problem. Punycode solves Unicode in domain names. Percent encoding is for Unicode in URL paths. Lemmy only needs to worry about the paths, Punycode should be “supported” out of the box without any special handling
