How to set up your username in Git if it contains special characters?

Question

Hey there. I am using Git for windows (msysgit project). And work with Git Bash. I also push my programmed materials to gitHub. The problem is that my gitHub username contains the character "č" and Git Bash does not allow me to enter it. Is there any way to set my -global user.name in my Git settings to contain this "č" character?

Thank.
