Machine Readable Zone, see below = & gt; Machine-readable passports (biometrics).
Spelling is different from the same name in the same document
Names containing diacritics (ÃÆ'¤, ÃÆ'¶, ÃÆ'¼, ÃÆ', ÃÆ'§, ÃÆ'Â ©, ÃÆ', etc.; the ÃÆ'Ÿ letters are usually not used in Swiss German) spelled the correct way in the zones of the machine's unreadable passports , but in the machine-readable zone, the German umlaut ( ÃÆ'¤/ÃÆ'¶/ÃÆ'¼ ) is transcribed as ae/oe/ue, ller becomes M UE LLER, but other letters with diacritics are replaced by their simple form, e.g. J ÃÆ'Â © r ÃÆ'Â' I became JER O ME, and Fran ÃÆ'§ > C OIS.
The above mentioned transcripts are generally used for plane tickets etc, but sometimes simple vowels are used (eg M U LLER than M ÃÆ'Ã… " LLER or M EU LLER). Three possible spelling variants of the same name (eg M ÃÆ'¼ ller/M ue ller/M u ller) in different documents sometimes cause confusion , and the use of two different spellings in the same document (as in the passport) may give people unfamiliar with German orthography the impression that the document is a forgery.
