Help: Problem with profile name

So I'm triying to use "Dead Man" as a nickname but for some ... reason Steam always cut the name at the "Ma", it doesn't whant to add the missing "N". I have to assume "Dead Man" is offensive like something satanic or what? Worse the falled intents now are saved in my profile.
Seriously why Steam have to do this a problem?

Myself being quite ignorant of how "stylistic" names work, I would take a stab in the dark and guess that whatever code you are using to make the cool lettering might be pushing you beyond a character-limit, thus cutting off the final letter.

name as a length limit of 32 byte, which would be 32 alphanumerical characters,

your name as it is now
-⦕𝕯𝔼𝔸𝕯╪𝕸𝔸
is 31 byte.

Thanks for the help.
Too bad that I can't delete the other failed intents from my profile.

You can "bump" them off the list by making a new name. It only keeps 10 results in the history, if you mean the drop down alias list that is.
