What happens when the bug occurs? Starting season 7 I have sees a lot of incorrectly formatted, very long player names like this: \u2020(\u0e4f\u032f\u2020\u0421hiChi Some are even longer and look like possible Unicode characters that are not being displayed correctly.
What should be happening instead? Either do no accept unicode characters in player names or convert them correctly
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Find a player who has a username with Unicode characters in it - e.g. Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Russian.

Here's a screen shot of one of the incorrect player names. I have seen more but don't have screen shots of them.

  • Another one. 

    \uac00\ube0c\ub9ac\uc5d8

    가브리엘

    Korean for Gabriel. 

  • This player's name was so long that it spanned around half the screen at times in game and I could not work out from the name where my teammate was.

    \u0442\u0443\u043f\u043e\u0439\u041b\u045\u0448\u0439

    This one should read something like:

    тупойЛёша

    Which looks like a Russian player name for something like "Stupid Lyosha".
