  Excellent link. For anyone who has read Moby Dick, remember Queequeg's "mark" is not a symbol in any alphabet or grapheme system.

  Until patio11 amends this post to contain suggestions about doing things right instead of merely telling people that they are doing it wrong, please stop recommending it as reading material. Thanks.

  Funny that I hit this all the time with Japanese services online. Enter First Name in latin characters: "sorry, invalid characters" ... enter in full width latin characters .. "sorry, invalid characters" I've even encountered sites which only allow hiragana for names - won't even accept katakana!
