      @jpmens IIRC that is actually based on an european banking standard document on verification.
      Not that they couldn't have *added* proper validation on top of the required stuff…

        @tbr sure it's a European standard. All the *more* reason to implement UTF8 correctly; it's not as if German were the only language with funny characters (French accents, etc.)

                @monkeyiq I'm disappointed: you don't look at my toots carefully enough! I've been using that since the early days of Twitter 😉

                    @jpmens Indeed!
                    EPC-QR (essentially QR encoded SEPA payment instructions) mandate UTF-8…
                    Guess if banking apps implement it properly, or if they work with *ONLY* the local language special characters… 🥴
                    I went through back-channels and linked-in to get a fix for mine once, then they broke it *again* and I gave up…
