Please always use unicode fonts when displaying usernames!

It appears you're new to technology, so let me tell you that, in this world, there are only very very few fonts capable of displaying any unicode character.

The issue with these fonts is usually: they are either bland or ugly (or both).

The developers chose to use a font with more style, hence there are certain characters it can't display. And it still won't be able to display them if you write your request in bold. Simply because this is nothing One Man Left could enable a checkbox for. It's a font and the person who created the font didn't feel like creating 100,000 characters.

Maybe they will eventually, at some point in the far future, implement a font that's got a better coverage of (at least the basic accented) special characters. However, it's fair enough if they don't, because you just can't cover everything and it's nothing crucial.

If it really annoys you, you should consider choosing a different Game Center nickname. Your in-game nickname will adapt to that one.
