I need some suggestions/guidance on how to handle strings that contain
characters like "François Pétillant".

I have several problems.

First, I do want to store these names in their original encoding
(which I think I can do in a db.Text object).

I also want to be able to search their names with or without the
special characters.  (eg. "François" and "Francois" would both in the
SearchableModel's tags)  Any utility to convert sensibly?

Finally, I want to be able to send back the name in utf-8 in a format
that can be converted back to the original on the user side.  (In this
specific case the wine name is being sent back to my android phone
app.)
