> Javadoc says ligatures unhandled. Also I wonder should it state that it can’t locale specific replacements like ä->ae and ß->ss Fixed Javadoc. It will handle ligatures and digraphs per the KD column in the [Unicode Normalization charts](https://www.unicode.org/charts/normalization/). ä will (and should be) be normalized to a. It is not ae in all languages. Ligatures and digraphs that don't have compatibility decomposition, such as æ or ß will remain unaltered. It would be possible to modify convertRemainingAccentCharacters() to include characters such as these. It's currently char based so it can't change one char to two, but it could be rewritten. It would add another iteration to the method and would take me some time to do this. Do you think it is necessary? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
