Add more characters like indigenous fonts and letters capability in RENXT

Many countries Like Canada are trying to honour preferred int'l and indigenous names for use in fundraising - availability in fields that can be merged in letters, emails, receipts etc., would be helpful, also online forms in BBNC, NXT etc.. Other platforms like Ellucian Banner have updated already. I can use all the European accents, but other characters result in '?'.

    Being able to use macrons in RE, and to successfully export them, would make a huge difference to NZ institutions and our ability to be good Treaty of Waitangi partners.

    Please also consider NZ requirements here - macron on certain vowels like Māori. These are a critical part of addressing somebody with a te reo (Māori language) name respectfully.

    The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation strongly support implementing this for our donor base and our decolonization efforts.

    More font options for NXT emails would be a welcomed addition as well.

    Chinese characters as well, both Traditional and Simplified are critical for our donors. I've been raising this issue for years - please stop the colonialism Blackbaud!
