Reading the article showed me how ignorant I was to this problem... so much so that I'm surprised I haven't seen more articles like this in the past.
For all the talk on ML and PC here, it's surprising that language is still a huge unsolved issue. As someoneone who knows a tiny amount of Japanese, I'm surprised that a common solution is to provide the katakana equivalent. Outside of the tech realm, is this really what a native Japanese would write on (say) a physical/ paper document: both the Kanji and Katakana?
There was a scene in Sakurada Reset where the main character writes his name on a form in katakana and then is questioned about it. He says something about how people typically pronounce his name wrong so he writes it that way.
