Common Mistakes to Avoid

⚠️

Losing meaning in some languages

Solution: In some languages, diacritics change meaning entirely. "año" (year) ≠ "ano". Use carefully with foreign text.

⚠️

Not handling all character sets

Solution: Some tools miss certain diacritics (Vietnamese, Greek). Test with your specific character set.

⚠️

Ligatures not converted

Solution: Ligatures like æ, œ may need separate handling. Check if they become "ae", "oe" or remain unchanged.
