Is there a way to allow foreign characters in .htaccess mod_rewrite character sets? i.e., a way to add foreign characters like ç and others to ([A-z]+) ?

you're using regular expressions, right? Take a look at this link: http://www.regular-expressions.info/unicode.html

I’m not quite sure with what character encoding Apache interprets the data in configuration files like the .htaccess file. But you can express these characters with the hexadecimal notation \xhh like:
# ç in ISO 8859-1
RewriteRule \xE7 …
# ç in UTF-8
RewriteRule \xC3\xA7 …
Now all you need to know is how these characters are encoded when requested (in general either ISO 8859-1 or UTF-8).

so something like `RewriteRule /name/([A-z\xE7\xC3\xA7(and all other foreign characters allowed)]+) index.php?user=$1` ?

@ina: No, when using multi-byte characters you need to use an alternation like `([A-z\xE7]|\xC3\xA7)+)`.
