I have done a little analysis of and experimentation with Spotify. experimentation: I have setup my Spotify account with a Japanese Katakana username, a Chinese hanzi email address and a Korean hangeul password. Native script forms and not romanised forms. It works!!! How cool is that😀 analysis: Spotify uses google mail. The following is an extract from my terminal session. 苹果电脑 ~: host spotify.com<http://spotify.com> spotify.com<http://spotify.com> has address 194.132.198.149 spotify.com<http://spotify.com> has address 194.132.197.198 spotify.com<http://spotify.com> has address 194.132.198.198 spotify.com<http://spotify.com> mail is handled by 10 ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.com<http://ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.com>. spotify.com<http://spotify.com> mail is handled by 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com<http://ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com>. spotify.com<http://spotify.com> mail is handled by 10 ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.com<http://ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.com>. spotify.com<http://spotify.com> mail is handled by 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.com<http://ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.com>. spotify.com<http://spotify.com> mail is handled by 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com<http://ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com>. spotify.com<http://spotify.com> mail is handled by 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com<http://ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.com>. spotify.com<http://spotify.com> mail is handled by 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.com<http://ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.com>. I also checked with XgenPlus EAI tester https://eai.xgenplus.com/ using address support@spotify.com<mailto:support@spotify.com> If you run the test yourself you will see the server advertising SMTPUTF8 So, this explains the Chinese email address part working, as google supports EAI.

Spotify uses google mail. The following is an extract from my terminal session.
