- bigstrat2003 2y agoIt actually is. That covers the vast, vast majority of people in the US.
- saagarjha 2y agoThat is not very reasonable, is it?
- MajimasEyepatch 2y agoIt is if all your customers are in the US.
- account42 2y agoIt's reasonable to assume that all users can deal with having to encode their names in 7-bit ASCII. Otherwise you might as well demand that computer systems need to support arbitrary drawings in the name field at which point you might as well not have a name field at all because even most humans won't be able to deal with what you want to put in there.
