at 19:11 | Non latin characters.Hello. It seems non-latin characters are stored in ascii code instead of the actual letters. This makes it almost impossible to Edit the text unless copied and pasted. Is there a solution planned for this?

at 21:40 | Non latin characters.To follow up on Vaegwyrm's post, this also means that non-Latin characters cannot be used as Character names... any chance this could also be included in any "fix"?

Yes, it's come up before ...
BBR summed the problem up nicely in link to a message in another game:
| quote: | | Unfortunately special characters are not guaranteed to appear correctly on machines running other languages, which (apart from looking ugly) can also cause problems for the database. |
And jase had a look at the issue per link to a message in this forum but found more problems that solutions, eg:
| quote: | | how do you address a PL to "Ądam"? Is it "private to Ądam" or "private to Àdam"? |
ISO codes are common and consistent (though don't work in character names, per issue above) - you can find a list at link to a message in another game.
