[quote=Anonymous]I'm PP 16:54. And I'm not white or English, so please don't make assumptions. I'm not being snarky. And actually, my sibling's native name is spelled with an accent so I know for a fact they will translate to english and what a U.S. character keyboard can take anyway.

I still feel the same way. The U.S. government managed systems are deep rooted in standards -- a character change or inserting mandarin characters or latin based spellings would be a major system overhaul on many levels that would cost a bunch of money that most governments wont want to invest in.

Even if it English isnt the "official" language of the U.S., it is the NATIVE language, and the primary language. At least for now. Everything else is in fact secondary.

No need to take offense. I'm saying if you say name your baby ????? (Emily in arabic), why would I expect a U.S. english speaking country to allow for characters that majority of government officials will not be able to understand. That doesn't make sense to ME.

I'm not saying the question isn't valid question, but my opinion is what it is. If I were in China, and gave birth to a baby as a citizen there, and wanted an American name they would not type it on the english alphabet. And I don't see why they any country would even invest in a capability to do that.

That is all.[/quote]
