How acceptable to Scandanavian people is it to (for example) substitute "oe" for "ø"?
Does the use of "oe" for "ø" come across as lazy, or sloppy, or lacking of grace/goodwill etc to a Scandanavian when they see such a character substitution in their name?
I use MS Windows and usually employ the cut and paste method, except for MS Word that allows you to insert special characters directly into the text.
