XF 2.2 How to mention users with foreign language characters

[sbj]

How can I mention users with characters from an alphabet I can't type at all but are registered like that.

For example Chinese names, or Japanese ones come to mind.

You will need a keyboard capable of typing the character, or copy and paste.

No way to use user ids like @userid10 or something?

But you are sure copy and paste works?

Because for example if I copy and paste your name after the @ sign, I don't get that mention dropdown like I do get when I type manually your name after @.

To be honest in all those years I never tested it.

But you are sure copy and paste works?

Yes.

Copy and paste the whole name and submit the post.

If you want to see the dropdown, delete the last character from the pasted content.

Copy and paste the whole name and submit the post.

With the @ sign of course?

If you want to see the dropdown, delete the last character from the pasted content.

That trick doesn't work for foreign words. At least in my test (I have a Japanese user). His name does not appear in the dropdown after I delete the last character. Is that a bug?

With the @ sign of course?

Yes, otherwise it won't be a mention.

That's likely a limitation of the code - I suspect only Latin characters work.
