你可以允许在用户名中使用表情符号吗

Hello there! My site has users who would like to use emoji in their usernames and I’m trying to find out if that’s possible for them. I was able to find the setting that lets you broaden the unicode options for usernames:

Unicode usernames and group names

Lifting the restrictions on allowed characters in usernames is one of the oldest feature requests. Starting with Discourse 2.3.0.beta9 it’s finally possible to use Unicode characters within usernames and group names.

but as far as I can tell, it doesn’t seem to work with emoji. Here’s two cases, one where things work as I’d expect and one where they don’t:

Case 1 - Working as Expected

Unicode usernames are allowed, certain non-ASCII unicode characters are permitted:

Results in a username using those characters being accepted:

Case 2 - Not Working as Expected

Unicode usernames are allowed, specific emoji characters are permitted:

But a username using the permitted character is not accepted:

I get the same result if I leave allowed unicode username characters blank, i.e. permitting everything with no regex whitelist for characters.

My Question:

Is it possible to allow emoji in usernames?

No, it’s not possible to allow Emojis within usernames. They aren’t considered a letter.

By default Discourse permits letters (Ll / Lm / Lo / Lt / Lu ), marks (Mc , Me , Mn ) and numbers (Nd , Nl , but not No ). The setting can restrict those characters, but it’s not possible to allow additional characters.
