Incidentally, my kid's school rolled out their school laptops this week, which of course come with Windows11 preinstalled (as a sidenote I am now looking forward to four years of "digital competence training" consisting entirely of Windows(basics), PowerPoint, Word and Excel; but that's another story), and *of course* all usernames have been normalized to lowercase ASCII. so my take is, that "no. In Redmond you would use ASCII for username" Oh, and my name does have non-ASCII characters, and I have been using Unicode in my display name for the last 20 years. I do remember problems in the 90ies. But those are long past. mfh.her.fsr IOhannes
