Entering Name With Accents on arXiv I'm trying to submit a paper on arXiv, but I can't figure out how to enter my name with accents.
It's supposed to say &quot;Dörr&quot;, but arXiv turns it into this:

I tried to enter the UTF character directly and also tried to use the latex syntax for accented characters, as described here.
Using a different browser didn't help either.
On the same site it says &quot;make sure [...] that any accented characters are properly represented&quot;, so it has to be possible to enter them.
Any ideas? It can't be that difficult.
I contacted the arXiv support, here's their reply:
&quot;This is actually something we manually fix later in the process, after you submit. Our legacy perl based system does not handle utf gracefully. If you proceed with the submission as is or with Tom D\&quot;orr we will change it to Tom D\&quot;orr in the metadata so that it will be displayed correctly.
We are also in the process of updating our code base to python/flask that will support utf.&quot;
