Words with an accent on the first letter are displayed in the index under the Undescore group

[dogawaf]

If the first letter of a word is an accented letter, like É, the word is displayed under the Undescore group in the index.

I would suggest to use iconv in order to detect the first letter of a word:

$firstCharacter = strtolower(
    substr(
        iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $term->getName()),
        0,
        1
    )
);

Hi @dogawaf,

ah you mean in the character list mode, I had similiar issues with the pagination and umlauts. Here the solution for the repository was to add a static mapping for umlauts.

For the pagination and umlauts I wrote a bit of information in the documentation, where you have to set the proper database collation to be able to handle this properly.

Your code does'nt seem to work for me, but I don't know if you always want to have characters get simplified or seperated as it's own groups.

I have to try and think of a proper solution for this.

Hi @dogawaf,

I added some refactoring for the character grouped list here: a12f0b8574fafceb2a35e507f74f7afaaf8981ab

It uses PHP intl to transliterate the characters into their ASCII equivalents. So to use use this you have to have the PHP extension installed in your setup, otherwise it will be ignored.

You would help me to test this and share your feedback before I merge this.
