Well, I'm not a big fan of it myself, but afaik most of those who use Scandinavian letters (æ, ø, å, ä, etc.) - or for that matter German (ü, ÿ, etc.) or Spanish (á, é, ñ, etc.) - do so because of an inability to speak a proper English.

If 99% of the people who can spell your name can speak your language, chance of running into a language barrier is a lot lower.
