Doesn't help when you have to match the person's name and they have these characters in them. My name contains the letter "o" and I once had a lot of trouble getting something done at the bank. Multiple staff had to crowd around the computer to figure it out. Eventually somebody discovered that when I had opened my account, that o had been entered as a 0 for some reason and the font they were using, also for printing, showed them looking almost identical.



Similar story here, but a "Q" instead of an "O". The tail of the Q looked like dust on the screen. Somehow I haven't run into issues...
