In addition to this & the other reply, the name I use in games is Jōtarōゴゴゴ, it would be welcomed and appreciated if we were able to use characters from other languages in our usernames as well as macrons on top of letters (ā, ē, ī. ō, ū).

I would like to use special characters in Display Name.

My current display name is ゆうた敗北 and I want to change it to ゆうた(敗北) or ゆうた「敗北」.
Please allow to use parentheses and Japanese brackets.

Note that Display Name is different from Username:
