No I'm not suggesting to leave it as-is.

But I also suspect they spell it that way on LinkedIn etc. because it's
the path of least resistance, not because it's the correct spelling.

I was hoping someone who's more familiar with Vietnamese (I believe)
spelling would chime in and tell us which is correct.

Sure, but it wouldn't have been octal escapes in the original character
encoding, it would have appeared, I believe, as Mimi Phûông-Thåo Võ.
