I would set up a web registration form, so people can use their own
device (phone, laptop, whatever) to enter their name. Presumably they
know how to enter their name on their device. I definitely don't know
how to enter a hand-written (or even printed) Chinese name on any
keyboard (I managed to do that recently, but that was a lot of work and
way into "a fun challenge to do once, not something I want to repeat"
territory).
