This bug seems to be solved on Ubuntu 13.04 (and probably newer):
Ensure the encoding is set to use UTF-8:

root@laptop:~# passwd hâkænശ
Enter new UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: password updated successfully

Mac OS X asks for the full name of the user, after which it suggests a
short name consisting of ASCII letters only. Perhaps if we did the
same it wouldn't appear to be a bug. Unfortunately currently non-ascii
characters in user names cause difficulties for email, and for remote
logins where the

Quoting a comment after my blog post about this:
http://blog.radevic.com/2008/11/how-to-non-ascii-characters-in.html?showComment=122753088#c6657583594854565820
What about email? If the machine is used as a mail server I have serious
doubts whether someone will be able to send to [EMAIL
Has this been forwarded upstream?
Couldn't find anything on bugs.debian.org - except for this similar report
about chfn and non-ASCII characters:

It seems there is a standard problem:

adduser: To avoid problems, the username should consist only of
letters, digits, underscores, periods, at signs and dashes, and not start with
a dash (as defined by IEEE Std 1003.1-2001). For compatibility with Samba

I would think, depending on the initial language selection, the ascii

specific language. So for English no accents/etc would be allowed but
for French names including ç and the like should be allowable.
Although that would
The entire login process is broken if the goal is to have an
international edition of Ubuntu. Bug #150894 is related in many ways and
so is bug Bug #23475. Ubuntu does not support international charachters.

Umlauts or ascii's in password makes password unusable. Aka can't login in kdm.
When does this kinda limitation's go away and linux world starts to realise
there's bit more letters in other keyboards. Like Ä or Å and all french ones.

It also depends which tool you are using to add the user:
adduser håkan
fails, but
useradd håkan
works

In this age of purported UTF-16 support throughout GNU, it is rather
concerning that something so low-level as this does not work. Simply
preventing non-ASCII UIDs is a little akin to using Polyfilla on a wall
made of dried dung and sticks.
This needs fixed. Heil UTF-16!

Tero,
Lots of good reasons to why it's easier to not allow people to not use their
name.
Why not just give people a number when they install?
Then they don't even have to figure out a user name.
Sorry to tell you, but I think it's _lousy_ that Linux doesn't allow
native characters in user
I have similar experience, only I think that this is even worse...
In Dapper, when I create a user whose password (not name) contains non-
ascii character, then I get no error messages at all, and the user is
created normally. The result, however, is that the newly created user
can not log in to
My previous comment was not quite accurate.
The user cannot log in from gdm, but by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 can be
logged in from terminal. Why?

I am able to add an account to my running ubuntu system using useradd -m
håkan. My system is a 6.10 box that is up to day. I gather this issue
lies with the installer application. Are you using the sarge-style
installer, or the GUI installer within the LiveCD?

Confirming this for ISO8859-1 characters too, like in François or

Oddly, the GUI Users and groups reports a different error message.
