Default How do I put accents in name?

Hello, I have just joined the French side and I wanted to make a French name with French accents in it.
But the game wont allow me to put any accents in those names.It just keep saying that The è character may not appear in names
I have tried putting my game in French but it still won't allow me.
I have seen a few players with accents in names like é or è, so this is possible.

Could anyone please tell me how to do it ? Thank you.

For MS Windows:

á = ' + a
é = ' + e
í = ' + i
ó = ' + o
ú = ' + u
ñ = ~ + n
ü = " + u

OR

á = Alt + 0225
é = Alt + 0233
í = Alt + 0237
ó = Alt + 0243
ú = Alt + 0250
ñ = Alt + 0241
ü = Alt + 0252

I can type them without problems it's just that the game won' t accept any names with accents.
I have put a screen shot of a name with accents that the game wont accept even though there are many French players with accents in their names in the game.

The names with accents are random names. Probably your best bet to get an accent is to generate a random name until the accented character shows up then deleted everything around it and enter the rest of the name.

That's what I did but the names with accent generated by the random name generator of the game aren't accepted by the game.
The name in my screenshot was genereted by the game and not altered.

Try copy/paste from a Word doc.
