    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.

    This is really important as exporting the Contact with a macron not only loses the macron, but also the letter associated with it.
    This creates an audit trail issue as the contact name is effectively wrong. Our old Sage accounting system was able to manage macrons. We look forward to this being resolved timely as Te Reo is an officials NZ language. Thanks
