Currently, in order to register an international domain name, customers must link with domain name providers such as namesilo, namecheap, or resellerclub. However, there have been errors preventing registration due to customer information containing a mark. A solution is shared in the form of a code embedded in whmcs hook to fix this issue. Customers can go to the includes -> hooks folder and create a file named fix_utf8_name.php. They can then edit the file and add the provided code, which will allow for successful registration of international domain names.
