asking questions like this is how i found out that one of the allowed characters in names in my country is ÿ, which is fine in Latin-1 but in 7-bit ASCII is DEL.

This sounds like it would create a whole list of fun and irritating edge conditions for some poor bugger to debug. Love it.

If someone else has to debug the problems caused by a parent naming their child with a special character, does that make the parent the bugger? 🤔

I can tell you that buggering is not how you become a parent.
