I'd suggest that names always included an ASCII (or perhaps even Latin1) transcripction. For example, I've seen lately in d-devel a some posts from "Arne Götje (高盛華)". At home, I just see empty squares between the brackets; a few hours ago at a friend's I could see they were eastern glyphs, because an appropiate font was installed. -- Adeodato Simó (a.k.a. thibaut) EM: asp16 [ykwim] alu.ua.es | IM: my_dato [jabber.org] | PK: DA6AE621 He has never been known to use a word that might send a reader to the dictionary. -- William Faulkner (about Ernest Hemingway)
