Scandinavian letters do not work properly on tags

AulisVainionpaa opened this issue · 4 comments

Hi
I have problems using Finnish words in tags, they don't show up correctly in the tag search or even when they are added to the text.

Here is an example of text that I would like to display correctly:

#ylläpito #käynnistys

And this is what it looks like in searches and notes:

#yll #k

For those who want to know what the words mean:
ylläpito = system maintenance
käynnistys = booting

Sorry my bad english and possibly a poorly explained problem, unfortunately I can't explain it better.

My Emacs and Zetteldeft info:
GNU Emacs 27.1
zetteldeft-20210409.2126

Can you be a bit more specific in what you mean with "what it looks like in searches and notes?" What functions are you using specifically? Just provide the steps to reproduce the issue.

What happens when you try to do a regular Deft search for words with those characters? (e.g. with C-c d D)

I have a hunch this is related to Deft itself. Deft doesn't seem to handle non-Latin characters very well in some cases. Do you use a specific input method within Emacs? See also jrblevin/deft#59

Ok. Thanks for your information.

Were you able to solve your issue? Feel free to ask follow up questions if you still have issues

This isn't Zetteldeft issue, more like Deft issue.
