Reminds me of the first time I applied online for an ESTA visa to visit the US: It said that I had to enter my name exactly as it is on my passport but with only the letters of the English alphabet, which is contradictory to the point of impossibility.
On a subsequent trip, I was stuck in Phoenix’ Moon Moon (officially Sky Harbor Airport) for several hours and missed my flight because the check in machine couldn’t deal with that same non-English letter and there was around a million passengers per employee to help resolve such issues 🤦🏻
