Description
When creating a room with non latin (i.e. greek) characters the name is striped to blank and the generated url does not work
https://example.com/apps/jitsi/rooms/a2662d65-c979-4502-9b58-3f4c52ab2f50/
If i append any latin string at the end the url works, but this is not a user friendly solution i suppose.
Is it possible to accept non latin characters or to convert them to latin like "δοκιμαστικό δωμάτιο" => "dokimastikodomatio"?

Research direction
Reproduce room creation using a name such as "δοκιμαστικό δωμάτιο" and trace where the room URL is generated and the name becomes blank. Done means a room with non-Latin characters receives a working URL, either by preserving or converting the name according to an agreed behavior.
