Character name override with @ fails #9

I saw #8 but this issue is a bit broader, even…

This issue also occurs with character names that include most any character not in the [-A-Z.] ASCII character set (I'm not sure that's the precise regex set). While a name like JÓN should work as-is, the Syntax specifies a work-around:

Power User: You can force a Character element by preceding it with the "at" symbol @.

The ability to force a Character element is helpful for names that require lower-case letters, and for non-Roman languages.

@McCLANE
Yippie ki-yay! I got my lower-case C back!

Fountain will remove the @ and interpret McCLANE as Character, preserving its mixed case.

Unfortunately, the @ character doesn't work, either—a copy-paste of the block above from the fountain.io site, with @McCLANE, also fails to recognize the character name.

I discovered using Cyrillic (Ukrainian) and Japanese that non-Latin alphabets also aren't recognized as character names, with or without @.

For instance:

This feature is really needed, has anyone been able to add this markup language?
