But of course, programmers famously have no idea what names are, resulting in a never ending stream of "why the fuck won't you let me use the name that I have?" for anything from ecommerce to government websites, so you really shouldn't even have a separate first and last name field, you should just have a "name" field, and it bloody well better support all of unicode, because the only person who can tell you what their name is, is the person filling out the field, not you as form designer =) [1] https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-...
