An alternative solution to the original problem could
be an extension that
displays possible characters from several alphabets and helps to generate
the username with mouse and put it back to the login name/password field.
I don't think that would be a good idea.
* It sounds as it would need JavaScript (or would be difficult to implement)
* clicking is much slower than typing
* "possible characters from several alphabets"? You know, we support the
full set of Unicode. Displaying all unicode blocks would need the user
to remember from which block his characters are
* One version of the problem is that you try to login from a system that
doesn't support your characters with any font. "displaying characters"
is the heavy task. If we don't want to show pictures, the user needs to
remember the individual character codes.
(or is there a usable all-unicode web font?)
Therefore, it is a great idea to login with your email address, which
usually consists of latin characters. I have that problem myself, beeing
User:✓ (a great challenge for toolserver tools ;-). Usually I have:
* My browsers autologin function which fills in the username at known wikis
* My browsers "notice" function which allows me to insert various texts
with the contextmenu
* Once logged in, I have a extraeditbutton above the edit form
* or can c&p the sign from the #p-personal portlet (user page, user
disk, prefs...)
But when I try to login no at my home system, I'm challenged how to
insert the 0x2713 char code with the keyboard. At windows Alt + num pad
usually works, but... So I often end up googling for "unicode
checkmark", and c&p the character from wikipedias "List of Unicode
characters" :-(
