Chinese username

Chinese username

We have a tried to create a Chinese user on our Moodle site. We have entered the Chinese characters he required for a username.

When we try and upload the profile we get the message.

"Can only contain alphabetical letters or numbers"

We have the Chinese language pack installed and unicode is enabled in settings.

The course page we have created in Chinese displays fine.

Im presuming Chinese users of Moodel don't have this problem and wondered if anyone can suggest what the fix is.

Thanks

Adrian
