    Yup. One time we had some person try changing their name to the dragon head emoji. Some systems handled it fine, but a lot of them broke in different and interesting ways. That’s what prompted the restrictions.

      I once knew a Thai national with a legal name, through some quirk of the system, legally became Mr. Smith.

      First name Mr.

      Last name Smith.
