I wish it was allowed to have persian letter usernames maybe even symbols as usernames it looks really cool and increases the username pool as well.

    Because URLs need to be in ASCII. That is a standard. Check RFC 1738 and 3986. Now, you can use percent encoding, but why use that. It just complicates things.

      There is a standard way to encode Unicode into URLs, it definitely doesn’t have to be ascii. Percent encoding is used all over the place.
