Description
Button "Create" of private channel is active (not disabled) if i write something like
День Рождения
but clicking on it does nothing: no error message or actual doing.
Only when i rename group to purely latin chars it works.
Either please support unicode names or add proper validation.

Research direction
Reproduce private-channel creation with the Cyrillic name “День Рождения,” then compare it with a purely Latin name. Trace the private-channel creation flow and its validation feedback. Done means Unicode names work successfully, or invalid names are rejected with a clear error instead of silently doing nothing.
