Vancouver man says institutions unable to recognize new Indigenous street name

Canadian banks are probably still on some IBM mainframes. There’s no chance they’ll support this full character set anytime soon.

This is the municipal government version of the junior engineer rewriting in Rust.

Formerly Trutch Street, now šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm Street.

Honestly, it is a problem.

There is a playground with indigenous street name and I can't call it in any way because I usually forget the name. So I go online to check the name, but of course I cannot read it. It is so incredibly challenging, I wish there was a different solution.

I came up with a nickname for it within my family, but of course that works only within my family.
