So when trying to put Japanese on my profile (ヘタリア：アライド・と軸) (Hetalia: Allied and Axis), it always ends up saying ?????????? instead, and it truly bugs me. However, If Riako can try to implement foreign letters with the exception to emotis (because there are a BUNCH of them), that would make me happy. Or if it's just something else other than a suggestion, you can ignore this.

But try to at least make foreign speakers (like me) have some control over their own language that doesn't include letters, like Russian, Chinese and Japanese.

I'm neutral because it might be easy to use different languages to secretly say swear words

Well you should know better not to swear and not everyone speaks a foreign language, nor do people bust out the translator to catch swearers. If you speak that foreign language and you catch a swear, then report them. Nobody who speaks english is going to be able to detect a Japanese swear unless they speak japanese, like for example, i know how to say the japanese no-no version of "Dang it" so i'd be able to report that user for a swear (even though i dont really consider that a swear word to be honest so i don't usually deal with that)

Long story short, they should know better and they could still get in trouble for swearing. i mean not everyone on the site speaks english very well either so they might not know what an english swear is.

As Shenzi said, not everyone speaks Japanese or Chinese or Spanish or some other language. This site is mainly in English, but those types of characters already work perfectly fine in the forums, the pal pad, and feeds.

Now let's think, that if someone puts all or part of their "About Me" in another language, only the people who speak that language would be able to easily understand it without translator. People could always look up a translator, but translators are not perfect, and some things may translate weirdly.

It is just easier for the majority of people for other people's About Me's to be in English, so that they can read it.

Eh, no support from me.

I mean, I wouldn't necessarily use the feature, all swear-potential aside, but I wouldnt mind it if it makes someone more comfortable to speak their native language. If someone wants to write the lyrics to attack on titan in Japanese characters in their about me, let them. I mean, freedom of speech in America right?

Eh, neutral.
The only reason I would support this is so I can put symbols.
And yea that's it. But it really won't bother me anyway, if I ever want to type some kind of foreign letters I will just take a picture or something. True, not everyone can do this but I'm just saying it wouldn't affect me because I can do it if I want to so i don't need this to be implemented but it would cerntainly makes it easier. I'm neutral, really.

PokèHeroes DOES have freedom of speech anyway.
