Creator Portal
Steps to Reproduce
-Open a Fortnite Community.
-Ensure the user has already joined the community and replied to a community post.
-Attempt to assign a role to that user.
-Enter or search for the username containing special characters (for example accents or non-standard symbols like “é”, “à”, …).
Expected Result
Members and roles should be added or assigned correctly regardless of special characters in names.
Observed Result
The username is not found by the system, even though the user is already in the community and has posted. This makes it impossible to assign a role to that member.
