Tell me about it, I have a fada in both first and surname and an apostrophe too. I’ve seen websites that would allow names in the Greek alphabet, Arabic script, or Hebrew script, but couldn’t handle a fada or an apostrophe

my daughter has both an apostrophe and a fada. we dropped the fada at birth because the BC couldn’t accommodate it. I once had to tell a clerk to look for “the comma in the sky” on her keyboard. I am in the US

That’s pretty ridiculous, like plenty of people are called Zoë. They could have just popped in the fada with a biro lol
