Adding accents to names

Hey so I wanted to make a new character, and the name I wanted was already taken, which I was actually expecting. However, I figured I could just make one or more of the letters in the name have an accent on it, using window’s ALT codes. But when I tried using the code, although I did get an ‘o’ with an accent on it, the name was not accepted as only English characters are allowed when making a name. However I’ve seen plenty of people with accents on their names, and in fact some people in my guild have accents on their names. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way around this at all?
