Interesting - I thought using Unicode characters would break text search capability - but when I did the old Ctrl-F 'find' in Chrome and looked for the word 'fancy', it detected all of the above. Intriguing, because in another thread here, there is mention of a gothic 'a' not being treated as a standard letter 'a'...

- hinkley 8y agoOne of the hardest parts of Unicode is properly implementing tolower() - which is often used for text search. I haven’t delved into the symbol area of Unicode you’re talking about here but I’d bet those all evaluate to “fancy”.
- hinkley 8y ago[Edit]: Except that's probably not what's going on here. Someone went out of their way to treat symbols containing text as plain text for searching.
