Yeah, ok, that’s what I was expecting (modulo my self-inflicted confusion about your velarized L). Bríd-Áine shows up correctly for me, too. Your name, Sławomir, even shows up correctly in Aqua Mail. My eyes are getting really bad: I was specifically looking for the crossed-L there and still missed it! 

Of course this also might just be "Senility--not just a river in Africa."

I don't know for certain that the Ł in my name is displaying for everyone. It does show up correctly in the mailing list archive:
https://corp.unicode.org/pipermail/unicode/2025-January/thread.html

Bríd-Áine's name displays accurately, using the Q encoding like mine does. André's name, however, does not.
