Have you tried?
What version of Vanilla are you running?
From a cursory look at the
GDN_User
table in 2.0.18.8, it appears that the name field is set as 'utf8_unicode_ci' which should support Kanji.Search first

I think they must change the code in the registration verification from ASCII to unicode.

Good catch @vrijvlinder. What I meant to say is that the underlying software supports it.
I would add a user manually (through phpmyadmin or the like) using a Kanji name and see if anything barks at you.

I have no way to test inputting Kanji characters, but this should theoretically work. Place the following in your
/conf/config.php

An aside: @vrijvlinder remember you can redefine all functions that have an include guard. In this case, you could place your modified
ValidateUsername
function in your/conf/bootstrap.before.php
file to swap out the function for your modified one without hacking the core.To expand, you can do this for any function that is included right after an
if(!function_exists('NameToOverride')) {

wow it works now @hgtonight
thanks for the simple easy answers
Ah ! here is another idea for a plugin to avoid hacking the core no? I like the config solution, less hassle for sure.

@altious I never would have found it if not for @vrijvlinder's persistence into looking into it.
