Hello.

I've known for a long time that you can't type foreign characters into ROBLOX in-game or in the studio (eg; in a Script). What this means is that you can't write accented letters (ö, ü, etc) into the chat , and you certainly can't use another alphabet. You can't even use currency signs other than $, the dollar sign, even if you aren't talking about dollars. Most people on ROBLOX live in America, I understand, but not letting people type in a pound sign is going too far. Say there were two kids who live in Shanghai; we'll call them Shu and Wang. Shu speaks fluent English, but Wang doesn't know a single word and he can't read the Roman alphabet. The two brothers find out about a game called ROBLOX; The website is in English and there isn't a Chinese option, but Shu helps his brother out. They both make their own accounts; let's say Shu's was yingguo782 and Wang's was superguy82. They find a game and start playing. After getting a few KOs a few of the other plays commend Shu and Wang for their work; Wang is confused because he can't read what they are saying. Shu tries to translate but he finds out that he can't type Chinese into the chat. It shows up as a bunch of squares. The other guys start throwing insults at Shu and Wang, blurting out every mean word that you'll ever find in a dictionary. Wang cries. He tries to build a game, with the help of his brother; Chinese Chat v1.0. The idea was that you could search for a character and type it in using a specialised GUI. It fails because they can't type Chinese characters into a script.

-tldr-
If we can't type in foreign characters it isn't fair because other people might want to type to their friend in Chinese but they can't

It's not the "best online experience" if you can't even type in your own language

well how many people speak another language
you can go into a mega server and everyone speaks english
because even if you're not from america and you know english, what does the other alphabets even matter?

I still didn't get a valid source.
And it matters in the private chat and party chat.

x = {"I “, "Support ", "this ", "thread."}

B = x[1] .. x[2]
U = x[3] .. x[4]
M = B .. U
P = M:upper()

print(P)

ok so you're saying that it only matters when you're in a party to 2 to 6 people or typing to 1 person
but not in a server with people that are actually typing to each other consistently
with about 15 to 50 people

Majority of ROBLOX is not from America. Though it's actually one of the most, it isn't the most.

Most ROBLOXians speak English, but that doesn't mean they're ACTUALLY from America.

My friends are Arab/Australian/English/etc.

I support this. Even Clash of Clans allows this.

Yeah. Allow this feature, and weebs will be spamming "可愛いい!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and ”です!”all night long.
On the other hand, I think this would be pretty cool.

They will never do this; there will be too many ways to evade the swear filter.

I know there are; but this will only add to the ways.. Which I'm sure is far from what Roblox wants.

I believe it's possible for you to create a private server where you and your Chinese friends can chat.

"Shu speaks fluent English, but Wang doesn't know a single word and he can't read the Roman alphabet."

Though wang's username is "superguy82".

No support.

While it's good to allow foreign letters to be typed in-game, it is more likely to be abused than used correctly.
