    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.

    How is it in the year 2025 there is still not support for tohutō when creating invoices? As a business not only operating but actually founded in Aotearoa NZ, I would just expect that our official languages are supported.

    What's worse is that I'm bilingual in French, so I figured I'd just quickly test whether other accents work.

    I'm gobsmacked. Please fix this. Toitū te reo!
