Chinese support has been added, good catch! I actually thought I had it covered.

However due to caching, the request above will not work before tomorrow. You will have to input another name. I apologize.

I may clear the image cache later today just to fix any issues related to this.

Thanks of adding this!:D

https://ui-avatars.com/api/?name=马云马云&length=4 Maybe this works?

Anyway, actually one could add &no-cache and it would ignore cache, I forgot that part

I'm working to support Chinese as well, preferably would be support for all languages. Sadly not all fonts support each character so I've been resorting to use different fonts for different unicode scripts :)
