    Hi Karin, would it be possible to get a few more examples of names that you've tried to import and not have show with macrons? 

    One of our team have tested creating a contact via import with the name Whakatāne (/mækrn, me-/) and this created a contact in Xero as shown in this image. 

    It'd be great to better understand and see if we can look into this a bit more.

    Kia ora, while I've been able to use macrons in Xero, there have been a couple of places where it's missing. Today's example was for an employee who has a macron in their name. I was unable to enter their name in the employee section of payroll because it wouldn't recognise special characters.

    It is critically important for us to be able to spell our employees names correctly, in the official language of our country that is desperately trying to be revitalised and reclaimed. Thanks in advance for your support of this request.
