This is apparently true in the UK, although they use the terms "special characters" and "normal letters". https://passportapplication.service.gov.uk/help/html/pages/1... :

>We cannot show full stops, hyphens, accents or other special characters in your passport. Full stops and hyphens in a name will be replaced with spaces. > >If your name has a special character or accent mark please enter your name using a normal letter eg e instead of é or a instead of ä etc.
