Does the API support names with special characters and accents?
Yes! Our API fully supports Unicode characters including accented letters (é, ñ, ü),
umlauts, diacritics, and non-Latin scripts (Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, etc.). Names should be UTF-8 encoded in your
API requests. For example, "François", "José", "Müller", and "Søren" are all correctly processed.
URL encoding is handled automatically by most HTTP clients, but ensure proper encoding for special characters.
Our database contains names from 191 countries covering all major writing systems. More details in our API documentation.
