I have a company in Finland whose legal name contains the + character.
It’s always a modest thrill to interact with new computer systems and see if and how they break. Some web forms just can’t be submitted because my company’s legal name has been autofilled from the registry and is not an editable field, but then they have a validator that won’t allow the string that their own system inserted into the form.
