Dear people from Denmark and possibly Norway and other places that use ø, æ, etc.: If you had to write a Danish name containing ø and æ in ascii - would you use o/ae, oe/ae, or o/a?

Dear people from Denmark and possibly Norway and other places that use ø, æ, etc.: If you had to write a Danish name containing ø and æ in ascii - would you use o/ae, oe/ae, or o/a? or something entirely different?

@hanno oe for ø, ae for æ and aa for å.

But not before cursing the system that forced me to write like that

@stenhaastrup @hanno

agree. these characters originally actually represented oe, ae, aa - so they should be expressed like that.
