Cannot add email with UTF-8 (Chinese) characters #3047

Open nus-pe-bot opened 3 years ago

The app does not allow me to add emails with UTF-8 characters. This may be a problem because some users may actually use emails with these special characters.

Gmail actually supports such characters in emails for example.

Furthermore the UG says this, which implies emails like this should be supported:

Hence the app is actually more restrictive than is as described.

Team's Response

In our non-functional requirements, we specified the application is made for users with above-average typing speed for regular English text. Since the entire UG and the UI are written in English, it is expected that the user uses English.
