Please add Lithuanian symbols so people can spell their names correctly
I have noticed that there aren’t Lithuanian symbols when adding titles or names. This is sad, as in this day and age people should be able to spell their names right and many other websites support symbols from other languages than English.
In Lithuanian case, there’s only a few, for example ė (two thirds of female surnames finish with this symbol!) or ž, š, č which are in many names too and it’s very odd to have to write one’s name without the correct spelling, and have it mispelled on the largest movie database.

Grama: I have given you a vote in favor of this idea. However, please note that adding support for the Lithuanian alphabet is dependent upon IMDb implementing Unicode. Although IMDb has added support for other languages for use in alternate titles, full Unicode support could still be years away.
To give you an idea of the scope of this task, at a time when only the roman alphabet could be used in alternate titles, IMDb once posted a newsletter that said:
That newsletter was posted in April 1997.
I hope this helps.
