Title: which characters are valid ones in bitcointalk usernames? Post by: Jawguy on August 26, 2015, 12:40:24 AM I found this profile:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=381968 Pretty cool, has a nice lower case mu as the username. I like it. But when I tried to create an account with a greek letter in it, I got "Error: Invalid character in username." So I want to know which characters are allowed in a username.

Post by: Foxpup on August 26, 2015, 01:58:01 PM I'm pretty sure usernames use ISO 8859-1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_8859-1) (Latin-1). That character set only includes lowercase mu due to that character's use as the standard abbreviation for "micro"; it has no other Greek characters.
I think Non-latin characters in username is allowed, like user Cøbra, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=888747.0 "ø" is a Latin character, regardless of what Cøbra seems to think.Title: Re: which characters are valid ones in bitcointalk usernames?

I was away for a while but now I see this. It seems that latin-1 is okay but not general unicode. |
