The name of Custom Field does not support Chinese characters about metamagik HOT 5 OPEN

Hello, new to Github, but my team have been using Kanboard & MetaMagik for nearly 3 month and found it very useful.
Since now custom fields do not support Chinese and non-latin characters, we can only input English, that cuase some misunderstanding/errors on different field. so we would ask if any chance to repair that? just thinking this bug may be related to UTF-8 encoding.

it's the preg_replace's. if you remove them, there are no restrictions. they were in the original unused code from metadata manager plugin, and I have no idea why. it's really just a matter of me remembering to fix it next time I get a chance, I actually did once, but forgot to send the commit.

it happens here in this method:

should probably be something like this instead:
preg_replace("![^\p{L}\p{N}\s]!", "", $search);

Line 128 in ce77e95

private function fixHumanName($human_name = '')

Many thanks for your update, it now works great.

That didn't work for me at all, I had to remove the lines completely.

If someone smarter than me can figure out the correct preg_replace, i will be happy to update the code in a PR. until then, just remove the lines if you need to get around this. I'll leave the issue open.
