in thread Character class for French chars with accents in regex?

Fair points, both, and well mentioned. Depending on the application for this filter, these downsides may count for less than making your customers irate because they can't enter their names.

    <grumble>Apparently it doesn't matter if customers' names are screwed up. My beautiful code here at work which will cope with big-endian, little-endian, even middle-endian names and people with only one name - it just got vetoed by $boss in favour of first name and surname. Thankfully it won't be me who has to explain to Chow Yun Fat why the software calls him Mr. Yun.</grumble>
