Does Moodle support Arabic for the user name?

Does Moodle support Arabic for the user name?

I tried to make the username in Arabic, but I did not succeed? Is this a problem I have? Because I do not think that Moodle does not support this because it already supports the Arabic language in translating all the contents of its system

I think that Moodle does support Arabic usernames. I just tried with my test site , and this username: مودل العربي (arabic)
(I copied it from somewhere here)

And I was able to login ok.

So , on your site, what does "not succeed" look like?

Do you get an error message?
Does the user creation form not validate?
Or does it simply not let you log in after you made it ?
... or something else?

My suspicion would be that your database is not set up correctly. Follow the links on this page for your database server type to see how it should be set up:
https://docs.moodle.org/403/en/Installing_Moodle#Create_an_empty_database

Of course it might also be something really simple like you messed up the password ..
