Question about getting hacked and alt char.

I just wanted to verify this because I have a character with an alt character like (î). I was talking to this guy and he said his account got hacked and his character was deleted.

He also said that blizzard couldn't get the character back because he had an alt character in his name.

I just wanted to verify that this could happen because if it could I am going to change my characters name so there isn't an alt character in it.

Thank You

The guy you were talking to was mistaken, Modius. If they were unable to restore a deleted character it had absolutely nothing to do with what the character's name was or if it had a high ascii symbol in it. Even if those symbols weren't permitted, which they are, we would simply rename the character if it was an issue.

There is likely a great deal more involved in that person's story.

Nope, you are fine.
