What has worked for me is to copy their name from their home page into
the appropriate field. (I used abrowser/firefox.) The text you are
copying and the page you are pasting into may have to be set and/or
viewed as UTF-8, as I don't know if copy and paste will automatically
convert the symbol codes. If when you view the saved result under UTF-8
format, it worked if the symbols display correctly. The directory uses
UTF-8 format for encoding such symbols in the directory.

Hope that helps.
