Unable to authenticate in case of multilingual characters

[karnik jain]

Hello Sir,

But the issue is you have written the Chinese charter directly
in place of user name rather than writing its equivalent UTF-8 into users
file as said by you.
users:
"現年快樂"  Auth-Type := Accept

My doubt is How can I write UTF-8 encoded (may be HEX form) in users file.

Because I have did the same in place of Chinese I have
written the hex equivalent of ∞ infinity symbol which is also
a multilingual character in place of username and sent the request
containing
hex equivalent of UTF-8 of ∞ infinity symbol.

Kindly correct me If i am wrong.
