Accented Character Names Cannot be Hyper Burned?

Hey all, I'm a bit late to using my hyper burning but when I tried today, I was prevented by the required verification (i.e. to input "<character name>/Hyper Burning"). The character I intended to hyper burn has an accented character in its IGN and I was unable to input that accented character into the provided text box. It was instead automatically converted to an unaccented version and as a result the hyper burning designation was denied for not matching the character's name. I also tried copy pasting the accented character into the text box, as well as copy pasting the entire name from the Maplestory website's ranking page. As I was able to search the character's name, I'm confident I had it correct anyway, but nothing worked.

Is it simply impossible to set a character with an accented IGN as hyper burning? If so, is this also an issue for other event rewards where the character's IGN is used for verification purposes?

I would love to be told that I simply did something wrong and that it is working for others.

Edit: In case it was misleading, I did not put in greater than or less than signs with the character name, that was just for this post.

Edit2: It turns out I am indeed an idiot. I changed my keyboard setting to Canadian and it worked.
