    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.

    I'm very dissappointed to see this has not been resolved and it is now April 2025. Another example of defective invoice PDF attached. Note that the PDF preview displays the text differently again.
    Actual text in invoice:
    "Sample row to show how macrons display.
    a with macron : ā Ā
    e with macron : ē Ē
    i with macron : ī Ī
    o with macron : ō Ō
    u with macron : ū Ū"
