    Of course you can. But whoever developed the form didn’t care about their craft.

      Japan has gotten a lot better but you still run into shit for this sometimes. First and middle names often have to be input without a space, so you end up with Johnwendell Anderson. And sometimes forms require names to be input with the Japanese phonetic alphabet (which lacks a lot of letters in English), and then if it doesn’t match some document you need to verify an online input there can be trouble. So Jeeves would become Jiibuzu, and good luck matching that to your passport at the airport.
