Description
The Attach to Project Wizard doesn't allow Unicode in the username field.
The validator restricts characters to wxFILTER_ASCII. World Community Grid allows Unicode usernames, and so should all projects. BOINC Unicode support is decidedly flaky. I notice that team names use HTML character encoding, instead of Unicode. Is there a reason for this? Everything ought to be Unicode - it's just so much simpler that way. (Here endeth the Unicode Sermon.)

(In [18291]) - MGR: Accept Unicode input for usernames and password in the
manager now that the manager is Unicode enabled. Input will show up as UTF-8 strings in the CC and project.
Fixes #452

There are not any plans to convert the CC to Unicode anytime soon.
Right now on Windows the Manager is built as an ANSI application. However building it as a Unicode application may not resolve the issue without the CC being aware of how to deal with UFT-8 strings.
