itβs normal, we allow unicode characters for usernames, and there is no
tolerant βsearchβ behind osm.org/user/username
AGAIK it requires the exact string (maybe whitespace trimmed) that the mapper
has used for registering.
If the user had written in a different script which you do not have available
on your keyboard you would have had equally to use copy+paste (or click on a
link to the user).
ππππππ has nothing to do with mastro, although it might look as if it has.
