Description

I searched for Chinese nicknames in the background and reported an error. {errcode: "M_UNKNOWN", error: "Query parameter 'name' must be ascii"} errcode : "M_UNKNOWN" error : "Query parameter 'name' must be ascii"

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the admin API endpoint for user search and trace the validation logic that rejects non ASCII characters in the 'name' query parameter.
