Not legal in Canada. Your legal name must use Latin characters only. This is a sore point for indigenous people.

Hello my name is JohnDoe. My name only contains Latin characters, no spaces allowed.

Ah, but you see, "John" and "Doe" are two names - first and last - and when you say "My name is", you're really listing out your names, with spaces inbetween!

But then there's hyphenated names, and I have no idea how those are treated.

"John Doe" vs ["John", "Doe"] vs {"firstName":"John", "lastName":"Doe"}

The Romans also had spaces in between words

I was under the impression that that was actually a medieval invention

But did they have lowercase?

EDIT: Hello my name is JOHN DOE. Only latin characters allowed

But did they have ~~lowercase~~ english language?

Salve! John Doe nomen meum est.

Only latin ~~characters~~ allowed

(That's all the latin I remember from school back then)

Did the Romans not use line breaks?

Blank spaces arent characters by definition as they're the space that allows the letters to exist
