Lets not get carried away - everyone in Germany misspells my Swedish first name. (Because I use a spelling that is not used in Germany everyone here "corrects" my name, even when I enter myself it on websites, etc.)

My French friend Stéphane (male) had a lot of trouble in the US. A very large number of sites and services don't let you enter the accent. Many places that had any kind of the human in the loop would also "correct" his gender to female and name to Stephanie.

I'm not saying we're beyond error, but atleast the input field didn't force you to change the letter or throw an error otherwise. ;)
