    It is also just a convention to use ASCII for usernames in many platforms.

    That’s only true for platforms that only caters to the English speaking world. The fediverse should be and is much broader than that.

    ASCII is also supported out of the box in major OSes while some unicode characters might not.

    What? There is no major OS that does not support Unicode out of the box.

    Percent encoding is perfectly fine and users won’t even see it.

    Also please stop down voting twice with your alt accounts, that’s not cool.
