I wonder if this also means one can require a European bank have a name on file in Kanju, Thai script or some other not-so-well-known in Europe alphabet.
A bank can specially request it to be the name on a passport or domestic ID card. That's one way to make sure that the name falls within some parameters, though that can be tough on the customer in some conditions.
I guess every country has a technical document on what's allowed in names, but then say EU banks have to cater for full superset of EU rules.
As far as the passports go, ICAO 9303-3 allows for latin characters, additional latin characters, such as Þ and ß, and "diacritics", so something not too crazy, i.e. Z̷̪͘a̵͈͘l̷̹̃g̷̣̈́ő̶͍ would still be plausible.
Since work on central ID in Europe moves slowly banks will only need to bother with local name rules atm since only local names are valid. I am guessing we will have normalization rules in the end and that looks completely unplausible.
