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.
