Hi,
I'll second Bolty's suggestion that you e-mail them a comment. If you do, be sure to point out to them your intended 'pronunciation'. Their take on it (Da fuk a fu) is the normal way it would break down. What you intended (Da fu -- ka fu) (I assume a pause between the second and third syllable, which is the only way I can make it work) is really two words. If Blizzard were to adopt a fuller set of symbols (adding at least an underscore) you could have named your character 'Dafu_Kafu' which would have eliminated the problem before it ever came up.
Whether or not you want to bring that up in your letter to Blizzard is up to you. However, if no one points out problems with their restrictive symbol set, they will not change it and the problems will continue.
Good luck.
