how do i make @ to work with Chinese username

jeongwee

But you also have to go to the lines that you've already changed in functions.general.php and class.format.php and change

/i'

(end of the line) to

 '/iu'

that step not working also,and broke the site.

these codes are same as the file....i didnt switch anything.

if (!function_exists('ValidateUsernameRegex')) {
   function ValidateUsernameRegex() {
      static $ValidateUsernameRegex;
      if (is_null($ValidateUsernameRegex)) {
         $ValidateUsernameRegex = sprintf("[%s]%s",
            C("Garden.User.ValidationRegex","\d\w_"),
            C("Garden.User.ValidationLength","{3,20}"));

Ok start over, undo what you did and start over, you may need to change or add this function too, or try only the unicode that pertains to language characters

 Redefine ValidateUsername() function

if (!function_exists('ValidateUsername')) {
   function ValidateUsername($Value, $Field = '') {
      if (preg_match('/(^[ ]|[ ]{2}|[ ]$)/', $Value)) return FALSE; //  Fail on leading, trailing or runs of spaces
      return ValidateRegex(
         $Value,
         '^([\p{L}\p{N}\p{Pd}\p{Pc}\p{Lm}\p{M}]{3,40}+)?$/si' //  Allow spaces and 40 char length
      );
   }
}


 changing the Regex filter from ascii-only to Unicode,which will allow you to use any kind of letters from any language..

you can also customize your filter to allow or disallow specific characters by adding or removing Unicode components (the "p{x}" components within the Regex filter). Here is a small list of what each of those components mean:

\p{L}: any kind of letter from any language.
\p{Lm}: a special character that is used like a letter. 
\p{M}: a character intended to be combined with another character (e.g. accents, umlauts, enclosing boxes, etc.).
\p{N}: any kind of numeric character in any script. 
\p{Z}: any kind of whitespace or invisible separator. 
\p{Pd} or \p{Dash_Punctuation}: any kind of hyphen or dash. 
\p{Pc}: a punctuation character such as an underscore that connects words.

I am not Chinese but Korean trying to figure out Mentions+ setting for Korean.

However it was awfully hard to me... and suddenly I though,
maybe I could get some hints from how Chinese or Japanese solved it.

All I wanted to know is the specific way. Not that Chinese plugin (I can't read it lol)
I am going to make new discussion about my problem. (or Private message to R_J)

but Thank you though @peregrine‌
