I don't think ASCII is unreasonable at all here! But the instructions could be worded in a way that it is possible to comply with them, instead of this formulation which is technically impossible for many people. It could say: something like "Please use your full legal name as the subject line of the message if it consists of ASCII characters, otherwise use an ASCII transliteration."

- omaranto 5y agoFor the record, my name only contains one non-ASCII character, an "í". So what I did was change it to an "i" for the email subject line, and in the body of the email point out I could not follow their instructions literally, and also told them what my legal name is.
