Here is a patch that will enable a user to register with an arabic name.
(however, it also probably introduces security issues)

Something to consider for 3.0 after considering all security ramifications.

- Milestone changed from 3.0 to 3.1
Moving to 3.1, As ryan said, We need to consider any of the security ramifications of this change. We're nearing beta right now, it doesn't seem appropriate to change this late in the game.

- Summary changed from Registr with Arabic (Non-English) characters ? to Allow non-ASCII usernames
- Version changed from 2.3.3 to 3.1
Please consider implementing this in 3.2. Registration always confuses my users because they cannot use non-ASCII characters.

Sorry, I was just trying to say that the same issue still exists in the latest version.

I think this is really a must-have feature for WordPress, from my experience, trying to create Arabic website with WordPress, it made a lot of confusion to users cause they simply tried to make Arabic names and every time it tell them the name is wrong and never mentioned anything about language, not even a warning or a comment to say the name should be in English, so it took me a while and losing a lot of users too before I figured out that WordPress doesn't support Arabic names at all.
It's really needed fix for WordPress localization, there is no point of creating Arabic website if your users can't choose their name in Arabic :) I hope this is being considered for 3.3

Okay, didn't mean to mess with anything, I just thought it's the right way to promote the ticket to the version. well, any comments about the ticket subject itself?

Username values related: #17793, #16833
Also, this does not appear to actually be a bug, more of a feature request / enhancement.
WP might not have been clear in the past, and may have allowed more, but there is a specific set of valid characters for usernames, and it doesn't even include the full ASCII range now. See #17793 for a patch currently open to make valid characters more clear in user creation error messages.
I think it's safe to say at this point that the username values will never support any characters outside of it's current range of characters.

As the WordPress is a global script , non-ascii user names should be supported in the core , This ticket was opening before 5 years !
