Even for an European in another European country one has to have prepared ASCII-alised name(s), surname, and address in home country. ASCII characters and digits only. The variety of systems, encodings, and input methods is legendary, complaining is pointless. BTW JGC says his surname contains a hyphen but technically he is using the minus character.
- Symbiote 3y agoHe is using the Unicode "Hyphen-Minus" character. This is the hyphen-minus, U+002D: - (and ASCII too) This is a hyphen, U+2010: ‐ This is a minus, U+2212: −
- bux93 3y agoI don't know if complaining is pointless in your situation. Some Belgian citizen did, and they got a ruling that the bank needs to upgrade their EBCDIC system to support diacritics to spell their last name correctly. https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/ebcdic-is-incompatible-with-gdpr/ https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2021/10/ebcdic-is-incompatible-with... I don't know if the bank ended up fixing it, though.
- undebuggable 3y agoThere always exists that one institution which will not accept your diacritics and usually it's a bank, city hall, tax office, or an airline.
