What are others doing with data coming in with Chinese characters, Spanish accents and now nicknames in quotes as part of the name? These will load using our interface engine however our Java Application is having issues with this data and we are spending a lot of time deleting this data or changing it so it will import correctly. Do others have issues with this?

Thanks
Todd

For PA:

Any special characters other than a very few will be removed from name fields. Non-English characters would also be deleted. If we don’t do that we will have countless errors which require manual intervention. We put those rules into effect in January 2021.
