The current code is UTF-8 compliant, and I periodically test with Japanese (as a pretty extreme test case). (I should probably also test with right-to-left languages such as Hebrew.)

We haven't implemented identifier assignment algorithms yet, but I believe we'd just use Cake's slug function for this type of conversion.

Subject: ligo.org user registration bug?

Warren,

Apologies if you're not the right person to contact for this, but while
debugging a new SUGWG grad student's inability to log into my.ligo.org or
reset her password--despite her name showing up in the roster--I think we
discovered a ligo.org registration and/or account creation bug.

Specifically, if someone specifies an 'é' in their proper name (which she did), instead
of reporting an error or warning, or just silently turning the character into an 'e' in
the albert.einstein username (which is what she expected given past experience with
online accounts), it was removed entirely, turning "Kayleigh Ayn Bohémier"
into
.
(Note the missing character between 'h' and 'm'.):


<https://roster.ligo.org/roster.php?do=member&uid=2773&search=name&target=kayleigh>

Where do we go from here? While she could keep her incorrect username, I
think we would prefer for all sorts of reasons if she were correctly
registered.

Thanks!

-Peter
