AW: name reading problem - Yamatoya jnr

[Roland Domenig]

A few weeks ago, Jasper posted a query about the the name of Yamatoya Atsushi's son. 
Well, his registered name seems to be Akatsuki, but he was called Gy? by his parents. 
Yamatoya wanted to name his son Gy?, but since the authorites didn't accept the chinese character (?) he wanted to use at birth registration (the authorities limited the number of characters that can officially be used), he was forced to use a different character (?) which reads Akatsuki/Gy?. Therefore the name in his birth certificate is Akatsuki, the name he is usually called, however, is Gy?.
