How the heck can one state of Australia prohibit certain types of names? Doesn't that cause all kinds of problems with documentation mismatches if someone moves?
But your name might get mangled in some states if it doesn’t fit, same as it might in the US if some system doesn’t properly handle, e.g., multiple middle names or special punctuation.
Having a list of "allowed" names implies another list of "disallowed" names. I am not aware (including names with non 7-bit ASCII characters) of any such list of names that aren't legally allowed to be used.
I'd note that the artist formerly known as Ƭ̵̬̊ legally changed their name to that symbol here in my "presumably English-speaking" country.
I am not aware of any such restrictions where I live. Perhaps it's just where you do?
Ƭ̵̬̊'s legal name is not Ƭ̵̬̊ because government systems can't process that symbol he calls his name. It's not illegal to say your name is Ƭ̵̬̊ but that's not actually your name as the government sees it.
Which specific statute forbids this? I am not aware of any.

Actually, Ƭ̵̬̊' changed their name (again) a long time ago -- long before they died.
That said, Once again, which specific statute says that?
You're making claims without providing evidence. Or as the (no so young any more) kids say, "pix, or it didn't happen."
No rush, I'll wait.
