Special characters with tilde (ã, õ) are converted like other unvalid characters with dot. In some cases, this makes the name of the person or address illegible. Please consider to change the behavior of the conversion so that ã becomes a and õ becomes o.

Thanks for the proposal. That's a good idea. I will look into it.

For your information: I'm working on this issue. It even looks as if these characters are valid and don't need to be converted. Yet they are rejected by the SIX QR bill validation portal. I'm in the process of clarifying the valid character set and I've already prepared a more sophisticated solution for converting invalid characters if possible.

Release 3.3 has been published. Among several enhancement, the replacement of characters not allowed in payments in now more sophisticated and should cover your proposal.
