Danish character ø in email adress

$

For years, I receive emails on my outlook email adress, which obviously do belong to a person with a almost identical name and email-adress as mine. The only difference is the ø in his name and a regular o in my name.

This email adress in question is an alias synced with my main email. As far as I understand the character ø is not allowed in email adresses, so I am more than confused what this means. I assume this person in Denmark has an email adress, maybe with an ø but maybe with an o inside , and most likely is using this adress actively being able to read, write and reply.

So why am I constantly receiving at least some of his mails? How is it possible that outlook allows for several identical mail adresses? Is it a different adress/ account for outlook but the same for all the senders to this mail adress?
