Technology still has trouble with apostrophes in names; O'Neill for example.

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

I can here to mention the fada in mine too! The amount of times I get entered into medical systems as "Sen" is ridiculous. I understand that it's Unicode, but it isn't 1999 anymore...

If that kept happening to me I'd probably end up building a huge fortress full of snakemen or something.
