Appreciate you raising this, Caleb. Supporting macrons consistently throughout Xero could help ensure names and other information are recorded accurately.
We've moved this idea to Gaining Support so we can continue gathering feedback. We'll keep the team updated on the interest and use cases shared here as they consider future improvements.

Hi team, appreciate the additional feedback and examples of where macrons are being misinterpreted. I've shared this back with product teams work on on different areas this has been mentioned in and I'll be sure to round back with any updates.
I want to be upfront that it's unlikely this'd be solved across all areas at once, and our teams may need additional detail to and a case raised with our Support team to further investigate. I'll be sure to share any updates with you here.

We have this issue as well. It typically shows the macron's for us fine on the front end GUI, its when you create PDFs or send invoices or quotes that these are then shown as incorrect characters - its not even that the macrons are left off, the character itself is completely incorrect and reflects very poorly on an organisation to their clients!

It reflects very poorly on a business when on the front end the macrons appear fine but when the invoice or quote is sent to a client and their name or your descriptions are illegible on the PDF. Its very embarrassing!
