> Having said that it would be useful, but are there any Unicode (database/normalization) based methods to do that without a hand crafted replacement rule? No, there really isn't. The problem is in the Unicode world, if the glyph is considered a letter, it's a letter even if typographically it is a ligature such as in the case of æ or a contraction such as in the case of ß. For example, Đ (\u0110 D with stroke) is considered an accented character, where Ð (\u00D0, Eth) is considered a letter. When normalized, Đ (DStroke) will be converted to D, Ð (Eth) will remain unaltered. It's why Ł and ł aren't translated using normalization, and convertRemainingAccentCharacters() was required. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
