The username contains an illegal character.

Whick characters can be used for username in drupal? When i tried to write a turkish name like "Suat Gültepe" for registration it gives "The username contains an illegal character" error. Is it possible to use UTF-8 for usernames? Thank you.
drupal version
i installed today's cvs of drupal.
Not possible
This is not possible at the moment. For a quick hack, you can remove line 180 (in CVS) from user.module:
if (ereg('[^ [:alnum:]@_.-]', $name)) return t('The username contains an illegal character.');
Where is this located in d6?

I am also having this same
I am also having this same problem. I would consider it a bug since the character I am using is most definitely not illegal in my country, or in any RFC.
what'd you wind up doing
