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.

I see Arabic used from time to time
In usernames?
Communities display names: https://lemmy.ca/c/maroc
I guess it could work for users display names too
This user’s name is displayed in Arabic, although the characters in the URL are Latin.
Is it possible to make it in other than latin?
Not from an ASCII
have you ever seen a non-latin char url, ever?
the fedivere is incredibly url/dns dependent. labels/content can be any language (mbin uses weblate to allow for dozens off languages) but the underlying urls that control everything prolly require latin chars

beautiful!
Looks good because URL beautifiers catch that, but the actual URL you linked is https://ar.m.wikisource.org/wiki/تفسير_ابن_كثير and relying on URL detection has proven to be very unreliable. For instance, Wikipedia links often lack closing parentheses, or closing parentheses and other punctuation get added to links accidentally.
Hex-encoded URLs are technically valid, but not very readable to humans.
https://ign.中国 ? There’s been a standard to encode it as xn-- for a while.
cool! e. cept it redirected immediately to https://www.ign.com.cn/
Welp, at least it works. It’s called punycode, and some browsers have disabled it by default due to Cyrillic letters posing a security risk. For non-domains, percent-encoding is available.
Looks like his username is in latin characters, but he has an arabic display name.
