In application forms, we can input REGEX to add validation to input. Names commonly contains accented letters, but the REGEX does not support unicode-aware character classes (e.g. the /u flag), which makes class such as \p{L} impossible. We are left with either no REGEX enforcement, or REGEX that disallows special characters in names. Please consider supporting these classes to align with common JavaScript frameworks.
Please update documentation once updated to inform customers of REGEX engines in place and how to support accented letters: https://knowledgeportal.pageuppeople.com/hc/en-gb/articles/17126246701849-Offer-and-onboarding-form-validation#:~:text=There%20are%20an,these%20Regular%20expressions.

This is important to us so we can enforce valid name inputs while not prohibiting valid legal names such as José. We cannot limit invalid inputs right now since any combination complex enough to support valid names would inherently prohibit accented letters. |
