Makes me wonder what the rules for registered names are: is a registered name a series of characters from an existing writing system, that would hopefully be compatible with Unicode, or is it anything a human being could possibly write on a piece of paper, including something that has no equivalent in any writing system?

- samus 5y agoGovernments usually have their own standards and rules on which names they would recognize and how they would store them. They would reject names that are impossibly long or can only be spelled with homegrown writing systems, same as they would reject stuff like "Fuuk Yu". Edit: on the downside, they would probably also reject many reasonable names.
