to double down on it it's not even about a weird name per-se but lot of very normal EU names
if a lot of early IT wouldn't have been dominated by a US "works for us must work for everyone" approach I think we never would have ended up with such limitations common in legacy systems (there still would be limitations, pre-unicode the solution was custom code pages and similar, which all supported some subset of non us-ascii but only a subset)
luckily today unicode is the standard (through for some cultural and historic aspects it's sometimes not enough)
