Is there a way to support account names with extended character set letters, e.g., umlauts, accents, et al?

All those chars are generally encoded into relevant HTML entities. I suppose if your charset in the browser is UTF8 you could enter that into the user name and have the value be accepted.

I have a value of Víe and I want to convert it to V& #237;e, the html entity for Víe, to compare it with another value, that which is stored in fud's database. utf8_decode converts it to Víe, but I want to convert the í to the html entity & #237;. Any thoughts on this?

Okay, I got it. 
$login = xmlEntities(htmlentities(utf8_decode($row['name'])));


Scary, but it works. I got the xmlEntities code from http://www.php.net/get-html-translation-table

This converts Víe -> Víe -> V& #237;e without the space.

Back on topic...
