Foreign language (Chinese) user_name doesn't work with Twitch.Embed() or APi endpoints

Hello, when using the API endpoint “helix/streams” and the return objects user_name is in a foreign language (ex. Chinese) it won’t work with Twitch.Embed() or API endpoints so I can’t get their English username either without their user_id, but passing the user_id in the URL is not preferable.

Anyone have any good ideas for getting Twitch.Embed() to work with only their (foreign language) user_name on page load, instead of passing their user_id in the URL.

Take the user ID/broadcasterID from the streams endpoint and look up that ID against the users API to get the login
