That's a great story. The inability to represent a name with standard characters reminds me of when Prince changed his name to a symbol and they had to send all of the media floppy disks containing a custom font with a single character.

Are you acquainted with Freur (which means, "Underworld 0.5" - Rick Smith and Karl Hyde in the '80s)?
"Freur", or, "The squiggle we chose as the name for a band but that CBS Records insisted should at least have a pronunciation".
I see it is not in Unicode (well, you can never really know if you do not try), nor I can find pieces to reconstruct it.
