Is there a way to @ people who have markdown in their names?
For example * io *
Markdown doesn't work in usernames, it just shows as plain punctuation.
If you mean "people who use anything other than 0-9 and A-Z"... for the entirety of those that use emoji, Eastern characters, etc... then unless you can type those characters you won't be able to @mention them.
If someone has specifically chosen to use obscure unicode in their username (i.e. the ­ character) then this is their choice to have made themselves unmentionable, uninvitable, and even to prevent being granted permission to private usergroups.
Indeed, such a person could only even be PM'd by using the link on their profile page.
In my example io, has two asterisks at either side of her name, when you put @ asterisk io asterisk, it emphasises io and then can't find @io I was wondering if I could @*io* or something?
