I'm a Norwegian with a Norwegian letter in my name ("ø"). It is simply impossible to enter my name correctly.

Let's say that my last name is "Strømmen" (it's not). Then I can expect my name to be displayed as:

Strmmen, Strømmen, Strømmen, Str?n, Str mmen. Strxmmen (where did they get the "x" from?)

Please include non ASCII characters in your unit tests, and use UTF-8 on everything.

And another reminder is that not all countries have the same address syntax as you. (+ phone numbers)
