A friend of mine tried to use this japanese name, and the game just rendered each character as a space: 鮎川タウ

I also tried with hebrew characters and got the same result. I assume no unicode/utf8 characters work in player names.

It actually depends on the current language settings, as some languages have special font. So it would probably be visible for Japanese people, but not for you.

It would actually be solvable by making one universal font for all languages, but it is not the priority now.

This was resolved with font fallback
