Sometimes the keyboard is all that is needed to put a stop to non-ascii names. I remember when I was traveling through Ecuador with a friend of mine named Jörg. We ended up renaming him to Jorge whenever we had to buy a bus ticket :-)
> German names containing umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and/or ß are spelled in the correct way in the non-machine-readable zone of the passport, but with AE, OE, UE, and/or SS in the machine-readable zone
In my EU driver's license the umlauts are spelled in the correct way, these aren't in my name, though.
