I had to convince people to let me on board a plane because my name contain a swedish letter (å). Their computer system translated it into "aa", which then didn't match my passport.

Your name is transliterated in your passport? That's on the Swedish authorities then.

No, my passport has my real name of course, with "å". In the airport system and on the boarding pass my name was spelled with "aa".

I'm amazed that none of your family members have run into the same problem. If I were you I would compare passports with my family.
