So I've received ID with Mc%20dole or they add a space in it. Or I'll get a work email with an apostrophe but I cant use it anywhere because sites have it disabled. And I've missed my flight because I changed my ticket once to add the apostrophe and the system just broke at the gate.

Worse yet many flight companies have "you will not be able to board if your ID doesn't exactly reflect your details" but their form doesn't allow it. Even most forms for card payments don't allow it even though it's the name on my card.

%20 is encoded space if I remember right, so even then they were already incorrect

Yep, the apostrophe would be %27

So Mc%27dole

It sounds like maybe they sanitized the apostrophe to a space and then encoded it
