Hi!

I have some issues with usernames with special characters in the web app (both local and app.plex), wasn’t the case before.  
The username I use is Ax’, so there is one special character in my case.  
No issues in some parts of the web app or in any other mobile/desktop apps.

The field to change the username is also bugged, and if I try to put Ax’ again, it says the name is already used. Here are some screenshots of where I find the issue.
