It is okay. Your name is stored within the key as a proper unicode.
It is the other applications (keyserver web interface) that don't support
proper conversion and mangle their output.

As long as you have proper charset in your .gnupg/options you should not
worry about it. You may also add accentless variotion of your name as a
second UID.
