Just strike me. One of the profile names of my Netflix account is written Greek. I will change it to English and retest in some hours. However, if proven right, it's definitely a kind of bug. Or improvement, if you prefer. I guess you can get this kind of error from lot of languages.

Verified. I rename all profiles with ASCII characters and I see the page to select profile.

I guess not crucial but will be nice to work with more than just ASCII characters.
