Ask HN: Apple screwed up our company’s name. How do I fix it?

5 pointsby rl12345about 10 years ago
We&#x27;re based in Brazil and our name - MyTraining Serviços em Tecnologia da Informação - has two Portuguese characters in it that apparently are not supported by the app store. As a result, we are being listed by Apple with some crazy symbols in our name making us look buggy as you can see here:<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;cXzV0wp.jpg<p>Has anyone here passed through something similar or know a channel that I can use to sort this out with them? I’m not being lucky using Apple&#x27;s regular channels for this so far.<p>[UPDATE] Found a way fix to the problem: just got off the phone with Apple support and we are going to change the &quot;ç&quot; for &quot;c&quot; and the &quot;ã&quot; for &quot;a&quot;. It&#x27;s good enough for me and it&#x27;s going to be updated in 24 hours. reply

Does your name work in a UILabel on an app? It&#x27;s hard to believe they do something different than that.<p>If not, try to find acceptable characters to use instead.<p>This is more likely an iOS SDK bug than an AppStore one -- see if you can reproduce it in an app and open a Radar. I would not expect the AppStore support to care or really be able to help.<p>[EDIT: quick test in latest Xcode beta -- looks fine]<p>Another edit: look at this app<p><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/app/id940870961" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;app&#x2F;id940870961</a><p>Are you using literally the same character in your name?
