The above is a bit unclear (non letter characters? define, please ;) Would it make more sense to say something like: in languages that use the ISO_8859 character set, only the following octal codes are allowed in names: [list the numbers; I can do that if needed] I have no idea what to do about other languages. I believe it's not in our purview. I do think that simply saying that only [a-zA-Z] are allowed would not be seen very sympathetically in non English speaking places... > > LCSC is looking for clarity.
