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" :-(
