I'm specifically talking about the kanji field, not the kana field. If your name doesn't have kanji (which mine doesn't), you can really only enter katakana. And I've encountered forms which refuse katakana for that field, and which also refuses half-width or full-width roman characters.
What do you do at that point?

It's not my problem they have to deal with malformed data if that's all they will accept.
