Even katakana cannot describe accurate pronunciation. And kanji name for each person is allowed to read in special way in certain range.
There are many Japanese whose name cannot be read by even native Japanese.

But katakana IS accurate pronunciation...it is accurate pronunciation in Japanese.
Foreigners using Japanese have to adapt to Japanese's rules. Not the other way around.
That is why ジェコーブ IS accurate pronunciation and is also why it cannot be written in kanji.
