I tried using a ` and ' in the /surname tool, but it didn't work. Maybe a limitation of Titanium Client.
This is what happens when they removed your surname it would be an underscore because they couldn't put blank as your surname due to the way they implemented GM commands. ( something like #change <target> surname "" would just error out, instead they used "_".

This happens to people who ask to get their surname changed too often. It's used to note that the person won't be getting a new surname ever again.
Edit: purely anecdotal but I had my surnamed removed due to inappropriate context or whatever, they told me to petition because the blank was just a placeholder. I petitioned and had it changed later on and had no problems.
