Re^4: Normalizing diacritics in (regex) search

> Note that this does not handle anything but diacritics. The above will change Köln to Koln', but 'Øslo (if it were really spelled that way) remains 'Øslo', because Unicode does not consider the stroke to be a diacritic.

weirdly enough, there are Combining Diacritical Marks listed for strokes

̷ U+0337 ̷ 823 Combining Short Solidus Overlay
̸ U+0338 ̸ 824 Combining Long Solidus Overlay

but the effects are not the same

ŵôr̂d̂

w̷o̷r̷d̷

w̸o̸r̸d̸

While listed as diacritics they seem only to be used for <strike> like negation.

> but Øslo (if it were really spelled that way)

It isn't, but you can take smørrebrød° for the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O WITH STROKE :-)
