Unfortunately, the bad news is that in the era of Unicode, you have to
think about the issues. There are a variety of reasons why allowing all
Unicode characters in your names is a bad idea. I think you should go read
RFC8264 (maybe just the first few sections, it’s a heavy lift) and
https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bray-unichars-09.html (shorter but
less thorough) and decide what you think would appropriate for your name
field.

Just saying “UTF-8” would not be helpful. What you need to specify is a
character repertoire, not an encoding scheme.
