UID masking not correct for Icelandic characters

[haraldur.karlsson]

When adding a page title, the UID/slug is automatically generated, and any unsafe characters are replaced with safe ones.

This works most of the time, but not in the case of three Icelandic characters:

• Ð/ð (Eth - Wikipedia)

• Þ/þ (Thorn (letter) - Wikipedia)

• Æ/æ (Æ - Wikipedia)

• Ð/ð should be replaced with D/d

• Þ/þ should be replaced with Th/th

• Æ/æ should be replaced with Ae/ae

Thanks for noting this @haraldur.karlsson! Could you let me know the name of the repo where you noticed the issue? (You can send it in a DM if you want.)

Hey @haraldur.karlsson,

A small follow-up: I learned that we are already tracking a similar issue with Japanese characters. I've added Icelandic to that thread. For now, I'm going to close this thread. I'll re-open it when I have an update

Thanks again for flagging this!

We are having the same issue. Any updates on Icelandic characters?

Hey @sendiradid. At the moment, there's no update for this. The current workaround is to use a key text field; however, the downside is that we can't guarantee uniqueness, as the same UID can be repeated across multiple documents. Apologies for the inconvenience.
