Description
If you enter a name with Indigenous characters...

... it gets changed to something else...

This will need to work end-to-end within a couple of years. Ref: https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/data/initiatives/including-indigenous-languages

Research direction
Start by reproducing the character change in the Namerequest UI and trace the name through the application to identify where Indigenous characters are altered. Done means the entered characters remain unchanged end-to-end; the issue does not name files or tests, so the relevant entry points must be located first.
