Character name is too long (because of unicode maybe?)

Hi! I play WoW on "Пиратская Бухта" ("Booty Bay") RU realm which name is pretty long. Combined with my character's name, "Инквизитор" it becomes too long for some checks. When someone tries to invite me to premade, they get message about this. So, I'm invited to Battle.Net friend list, but not auto-invited to group, so I have to PM them so they have to invite me manually. Sometimes this is annoying. This problem exists for a long time, and there are a lot of players that have this problem on RU realms. There are also "Борейская тундра" ("Borean tundra") realm, and I saw a lot of players from there that experienced the same problems. Though, I didn't see that players from realms with long latin names (e. g. "Culte de la Rive Noire") experienced these problems ever. Perhaps, this problem is because of wide Unicode characters, so Russian names take double memory. I'm not so experienced in LUA and especially in WoW API, so I don't really know what happens. Anyways, I can try to reproduce the situation with my friend and provide detailed info about this error. Thanks!
