Allow special characters in user last name field
We would like to be able to show our pronouns next to our last name, but the field doesn't allow special characters in the name field. Please either add a new field for pronouns, that would show next to the name in the RingCentral Meetings app, or allow special characters in the last name field.

I can use special characters, but if I put my pronouns in parenthesis after my last name, it changes my last initial to the letter of my last pronoun. Please provide a field for pronouns instead.

Thanks for this! We've merged this with an already existing idea to combine votes and keep things organized. We'll make updates when we hear more from product.

RingCentral does not properly display names with an apostrophe. Like D'Augustine or O'Malley, or Superintendent's Office.Instead, you get D'Augustine, O'Malley, and Superintendent's Office. Please allow apostrophes to be used.We should not have to use a backtick (`) character instead, or be forced to use unicode characters (U+02BC - ʼ) to work around this issue. While these workarounds seem to work, they could potentially cause problems if not expected in RingCentral's back end, or if not properly handled with any APIs.It seems that other special characters at least work, like accented characters, but the apostrophe is also an important character to have function for people's names.
