I'm watching a movie called A Long Goodbye and one of the characters asked his
grandfather to write "Elizabeth" in kanji. Obviously the grandfather, who
didn't know English, had a lot of difficulty in coming up with an answer.
Kanji is also not used for specific English words like names. So I'm really
curious about the answer/kanji he came up with.

This is called ateji, using kanji to represent sounds where the meanings of
the kanji are irrelevant.
