Replace Twitch unicode names with plain text versions #88

Open itsukarine opened 1 year ago

It seems that Japanese characters (in my case) and probably most other asian languages aren't supported in Noita's client, so Twitch names that are in Japanese and otherwise just appear as a string of question marks in-game. Could an option for nicknames, or defaulting to the roman version of the Twitch username in-game be considered?

I also wasn't sure if it was worth adding since it's just conjecture, but it might be tied to locale, which is an issue that should've been resolved in Windows 10 (Back in Win7 days everyone who wanted to play Japanese games had to set their computer locale to Japanese for the games to be read properly by it.)

If by chance this is the unlikely cause, I think this would still be worth considering as it would resolve the readability problem that'd otherwise exist among basically every mingling interaction between eastern and western playerbases.
