There was already a pic of Faye sitting on a cake, years and years ago. It was also used as her Twitter profile pic.

--- Quote from: Morituri on 28 Mar 2017, 12:50 ---On investigation, it appears to actually be standard in much of the US that diacriticals of any kind are off-limits for birth certificates.
There's no federal law on the matter, but various states have various laws and in some cases just acknowledged limitations of their data systems that they've decided don't need fixing.

I particularly like Vermont: “You may use trademarked names (IBM), diseases (Anthrax), and obscenities, but we highly recommend against it.”
There are kids whose names are emoji now.

A friend of mine is a social worker in North Carolina. She once told me the story of a young teenage mother she was counseling, and of her efforts to talk her client out of naming her son "Shi'thead". Pronounced "shi-THEED", according to the mother. The girl was totally unable to see what her son's name looked like without the apostrophe and would not listen to reason.
I wonder whatever became of young Shi'thead. He'd be about sixteen now.
explicit:
If I learned anything from when I was twelve it's that after sitting on the cake you're supposed to fart on it.

The comic made me feel the same way about "dubious binary."
