But romanizing doesn't solve any of those problems (except maybe having to copy/paste, but with uncommon/foreign names you'll have to re-look at it thrice either way). You're still gonna wonder if 'Sung' is the first, second or third name, because your mistake was assuming that it works like this in the first place.

If you read scientific journals, they have dealt with ASCII names, sometimes with last names in all caps, with the given name.[0]

For example, KANESHIRO, Takeshi, with the names of the authors of a paper.

A better approach is just using whatever name they provide in full. If you need a short name (which is not the case in the original .txt file), ask for one. Just treat names like opaque blobs.
