No support. It's too late to implement it.
Reasons:
[LIST]
[*]Danger of overseen SQL Injection (Hacking)
[*]Requires a thorough implementation of safeguards against special characters or strings currently not exploitable.
[*][b]Doubles the database size and size increase over time[/b] because all dragon VARCHAR fields have to be rewritten to account for asian (16-bit) characters. VARCHAR reserves unused character space up to the maximum length specified.
[*][b]Undesirable side-effects on current VARCHAR fields.[/b] With a DB of that size, it's not possible or safe to convert current ASCII entries into UTF-8 or similar 16-bit character coding within a reasonable downtime.

In pinging me I assume consent to be pinged back. This is because I disabled signature display (too many intrusive banners)

Support! I previously had the unicode diamonds in my hatchery page, but since they updated the site, they all got changed to ?s, and it was a pain to replace them all, and it no longer matches with the thread. Really want them back, that'd be amazing!

@kizatchi I fully agree, I was going to name one of my dragons Clåra, but that didn't go through so now she's stuck with Claara, which I realized was an idiotic name as soon as it went through.

Uh, unicode is really hard to get.
But I'd love space and 's in my dragons' names. Rly, just this.

I support allowing more symbols in messages, forums, etc. because some people have had issues where they display as "?" instead but I don't support them in names for the reasons Ettanin mentioned. It's unfortunate but yeah. :(
