I agree, I personally suffer from the same problem.  In fact, I have
3 non-ASCII characters in my name but long ago but I replace them with
ASCII characters even if computers nowadays are able to handle Unicode
(as we can see, that is not always true).  I would be happy if we could
allow all Unicode characters, at least extended Latin, my point is that
probably we have not yet achieved this ability.
