- * <p>
- * Provides a basic accent folding implementation that converts common accented
- * letters (like "á") to their non-accented forms (like "a").
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- * This implementation is not comprehensive, and should only be used as a last
- * resort when accent folding can't be done on the server. A comprehensive
- * accent folding implementation would require much more character data to be
- * sent to the browser, resulting in a significant performance penalty. This
- * implementation strives for a compromise between usefulness and performance.
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- * Accent folding is a destructive operation that can't be reversed, and may
- * change or destroy the actual meaning of the text depending on the language.
- * It should not be used on strings that will later be displayed to a user,
- * unless this is done with the understanding that linguistic meaning may be
- * lost and that you may in fact confuse or insult the user by doing so.
- * </p>
- *
- * <p>
- * When used for matching, accent folding is likely to produce erroneous matches
- * for languages in which characters with diacritics are considered different
- * from their base characters, or where correct folding would map to other
- * character sequences than just stripped characters. For example, in German
- * "ü" is a character that's clearly different from "u" and should match "ue"
- * instead. The word "betrügen" means "to defraud", while "betrugen" is the past
- * tense of "to behave". The name "Müller" is expected to match "Mueller", but
- * not "Muller". On the other hand, accent folding falls short for languages
- * where different base characters are expected to match. In Japanese, for
- * example, hiragana and katakana characters with the same pronunciation ("あ"
- * and "ア") are commonly treated as equivalent for lookups, but accent folding
- * treats them as different.
