Some API endpoints require the Spotify user id, one example being the "Create a playlist".
I have noticed that some users have special (UTF-8) characters in their ID. Example:
`débug`
When I make an API call with that Spotify user ID, I get an error saying that the user id should be in ASCII. An example from the create a playlist endpoint:
`URI::InvalidURIError: URI must be ascii only /users/d\u00E9bug/playlists`
I have attempted to make the request with `debug`, translating to `/users/debug/playlists` but I'm then hit with an error saying that I cannot create resources in a different user's account.
What's the expected format in this case, especially considering that not all UTF8 characters may have a corresponding ASCII code?
Thanks
