Who was this player

I have been trying to figure out how to deal with what looks like unicode characters in the ut query response.
Today I just happened to see that someone was playing with a name that contains those characters.
The DC status page also wasn't able to handle the chars either (see attached screenshot)
Does anyone know who this person was?

my query shows:
????
Code:

 echo ' ????' |hd
 00000000  20 ef bf bd ef bf bd ef  bf bd ef bf bd 0a        | .............|

I was able to join the game to catch the name
The server browser shows it as 'ee' with a bar over each e (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH MACRON: U+0113, UTF-8: 0xC4 0x93)
The in game scoreboard shows them as 'ee' with two dots over each e (LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH DIAERESIS:U+00eb,UTF-8: 0xC3 0xAB)

Now I need to figure out how to deal with this.
Any ideas?

On a side note I checked with Game-Monitor.com
http://www.game-monitor.com/ut2004_GameServer/166.70.135.171:7777/DisastrousConsequences.com.html
and they had the same issue, but what is also weird is that they have 'TonyTheSlayaneer's Sentinel' listed as a player.
My query and the DC stats page don't.
I wonder how they got that.

Dr.Wayn? is another player name that doesn't seem to work.

Wayno how did you get your name?

cool, my name was in the score.

Anyway yes it was ee. he also stayed for StalwartClassicXL which was the next map. There were also a couple of people with numbers who joined. Don't know why but I always see my sentinel's name in the score. Appearantly the game registers the sentinel as a completely different player. I'll take a quick guess but maybe if the function GetRosterEntryNumber() had a return value of false like custom pawns in some assault maps do then maybe it wont show the scoreboard, but I fear that it might not display the name above the sentinel itself either.

You caught me.

This is my start up medic (lvl 27 I think) that is just out for monsters since my high lvl medic doesn't do monsters. I can already spawn 2 brutes. Yay!

Anyway, the name is Dr.Waynö. The last "o" has 2 dots over it. Will this cause any problems with the server?

Its fine, I was able to update the script to handle displaying properly.

The funny thing was that the word Neo only comes up in numbers too. I joke to myself it must be the matrix numbers.

Player names show up as random numbers when the name was already used by other players with different cd_keys.
The above issue has more to do with unicode characters

oh ok.
