Wouldn't it be possible to add exceptions for the more commonly used accented characters? Or at the very least keep silly symbols like asterisks and brackets and such out of there.

Yes, maybe go the other way and disallow certain characters. That might work.

I can't recall being so excited for a feature so trivial in the grand scope of things. Maybe I've just been in the sandbox for too long...

Did anyone say anything about army name color? Like realm name color, only...for the army.

Hard for colorblind/old people/people with bad monitors to see.

I think the banners will be enough to distinguish, no?
The above is accurate 25% of the time, truthful 50% of the time, and facetious 100% of the time.

Here's an actual battle report (on our wiki) that I did with heraldry banners for each noble.  It was well received.

That's very nice, Corwyn. I think that the "battle" part of the game needs a little more color to it, and the banners are just perfect, especially seeing them on the battlefield drawings.

That doesn't stop us from doing it for realms.

Would be cool if every player could make a banner for their family that was very customizable, but rigid at the same time. A new family with no fame would have very few options to make their banner. But as your family gets fame more options/cooler ones become available. Gold would have to be spent every time change the banner to prevent to much switching. Also individual family members' banners could automatically change based of honor and position. With more honor and prestige something like the border would get more fancy, and there could be a crown onto of the banner if King, or a fancy hat if lord.

That is under development also, though not by me.
