Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a new room with Greek Name e.g. Δοκιμαστικό
- Click "Join"
- Instead of loading joining screen it returns to dashboard.
My personal observations are as follows.
When using an English / Latin letters for name, the room is created and the name is appended to the end of the link

The above image is demonstrating the behavior when using a name with Latin letters. The generated link, as presented below, includes the given room name.
When using a Greek name, the generated link doesn't include the name as demonstrated below

Last but not least, if I write the name in Greek but add a . (dot) at the end of the name, the link is generated with a "_" at the end as demonstrated by the following screenshot

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by creating rooms with Latin and Greek names, then compare the generated links and Join behavior. Start by tracing the room-name-to-link flow and the dashboard-to-join transition. Done means a room named with Greek characters generates a usable link and opens the joining screen.
