@lkanies@hachyderm.io They are. The correct way to transliterate ö to plain Latin characters is via oe, but outside Germany almost nobody knows that and assumes the dots can simply be omitted instead 🙂
Plain o is also accepted (e.g. in documents) but not "correct".
Fun fact, here in Greece I'm with five different names in the systems because everything has it's own silly rules and technical restrictions: Dröge, Droege, Droge, Ντρέγκε (correct transliteration to Greek) and Ntregke (Greek transliterated to Latin characters again) 🙃

@slomo@toot.cat ah, thanks. Man. I did not even think about the problem of systems. Damn programmers.
