@jstepien@mastodon.social it's goddamn frustrating isn't it, not too mention insulting. I see the Co-operative Bank here in the UK have made zero progress on this since I stumbled on it ~10 years ago. 🙄 To save you the trouble, I just got two steps into the "open new account" process before this happened: "The name entered is invalid." https://www.co-operativebank.co.uk/products/bank-accounts/current-account/

@jstepien@mastodon.social “Your name is invalid” - that’s harsh. It’s Polish, isn’t it?

@jstepien@mastodon.social shit’s real. I’ve once been in the receiving end of a « security audit » for our website, and the auditor found a ✌️flaw ✌️in that we were accepting too wide a range of characters for name fields. The recommendation was to restrict to the basic [A-Za-z] set and « a few accents so that covers most names everywhere » lol In fact we should flatly forbid strings IMO.

@jstepien@mastodon.social Forgot which one it was but there's some where compose and dead-keys do not work in JS-heavy text entries because somehow they grab keys instead of characters.

@jstepien@mastodon.social I love it! Immediately checked the form I recently handcoded, and it does accept your name… but the letters look a little wonky since the webfont has subsetting without these characters. I wonder if that’s an acceptable trade off for my tiny and usually very local websites… or should I set the font on forms to the system default? Hm 🤔 I shall experiment. Thank you!

@jstepien@mastodon.social this is extremely funny but it also makes me profoundly sad. this kind of bug can cause very serious problems at e.g. border crossings, and I hope you have not been subject to that. it makes me want a sidebar that links to a lawsuit against each of these sites for the oversight, where they are legally forced to rectify this and pay damages, but I don't think that this is actually possible

@jstepien@mastodon.social, my favorite was a public library whose website rejected me as "mamy już czytelnika o takim imieniu i nazwisku" [= we have a reader under that name] — but they've replaced the system already.
