characters which should not be stripped of diacritics,

158 |
according to the detected national language (based on

strip the umlauts), and Nordic languages (keep the letters

with circle above in addition to the German list). Other

languages currently only have exceptions which result in

decomposing ligatures (fl, fi etc.). You can have a look at
