Hi,

I have a custom analyzer using ascii\_folding. It performs correctly except for the following word :

"Développeur"

**Be carefull** , it's different from "Développeur". If you look carefully at the first word, the "é" is in fact e´  
If I convert in ANSI it's more easy to see :

De´veloppeur  
Développeur

In the second case, the ascii folding gives : developpeur which is good  
In the first case, it gives "développeur"

Do you know if there is a solution to manage this case ?

Thanks

Ok I have a solution using icu\_folding ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-icu.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/plugins/current/analysis-icu.html))
