    I had to convince people to let me on board a plane because my name contain a swedish letter (å). Their computer system translated it into “aa”, which then didn’t match my passport.

      That one I can actually see, having an extra letter that bdoesn’t match. Dropped punctuation or symbols (whatever the flair is called) though personally I wouldn’t care.
