This does work! For those not able to get far from the info above, here is the entire procedure:
  • Go to your Account Info and login.
  • Under Member Information choose Edit
  • Under General Preferences Click on the Language and Content link.
  • Choose Chinese-China (Mainland)
  • Click the ÎO½OÊÜ button (its the one on the left)
  • Go to Edit Profile and click on the link next to your Yahoo ID ([±à¼*])
  • Next go to the top link in the center that looks like this: ±à¼*¸öÈ˵µ°¸
  • Then enter in your symbol enhanced nickname in the second field labeled ÄØ³Æ
  • Check the box at the bottom of the page next to ³ÉԱĿ¼ and then click the bottom button
  • Your Nickname is now set, next we need to get back to English again.
  • Go back to your Account Info and login again if prompted
  • In the field labeled Óû§ÐÅÏ¢ hit the Edit button and at the bottom of the page next to ÓïÑÔ¼°ÄÚÈÝ£º click the link
  • Change your setting back to English - US or UK or whichever region applies to you. (Canada doesn't offer Nicknames, so choose U.S.)
  • Hit the button at the bottom labeled Íê³É (on the left) and Accept the TOS agreement.
  • Click the Finished button on the Top or Bottom of the page and proceed to Yahoo! Chat with your brand new "enhanced" nickname.
That's it my friends, see the proof in my new nickname enhanced profile.

WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, YOU MAY BE STUCK WITH A FOREIGN LANGUAGE FOR ALL OF YOUR YAHOO RELATED AREAS (CHAT, MAIL, GAMES, ETC.)

Go ahead and try something else, I used China (Mainland) and it worked. If you want to waste time using another that may or may not work, be my guest.

Theres an easier way... theres a pair of programs on is called ascii name maker and the other is called profile tweek used together they will force the characters into your profile without a degree in computer science. just make the name with ascii name maker copy the output to profile tweeker put your sn and password in a clikc tweek wait about 5 seconds and all done.
