This issue also occurs with character names that include most any character not in the [-A-Z.] ASCII character set (I'm not sure that's the precise regex set). While a name like JÓN should work as-is, the Syntax specifies a work-around:

I discovered using Cyrillic (Ukrainian) and Japanese that non-Latin alphabets also aren't recognized as character names, with or without @.
