@fizzyizzy05 @0x4d6165 hm i wonder if you could implement a "simple" version of your name thats not using special characters and then a "fancy" version too, and then just show the simple one to screen readers, you could even have a toggle for it .. maybe hmm :?
this way you can still have this way of expressing yourself, and everything else still works .. maybe ..

@Li @fizzyizzy05 @0x4d6165 Hmm, maybe a browser setting to only "display" ascii characters + overwrite fonts / text styling with a user chosen one if desired. Although that doesn't fix any text that is embedded in an image or something but for text as text that might work. But then it also makes sense to just make text accessible when possible -TS

@Li @fizzyizzy05 @0x4d6165 Alternatively, screen readers could just be better about it, recognise when special characters are arranged in a way that makes a word, and parse that as a word rather than reading out the character names
