@Serpentine,

Yes -- that makes sense ... and might be a good way to address what led to my latest round of tweaking -- accented chars from the middle of a word popping up in my abbreviations.
Of course it will complicate the other tweaking I've done over time to make the abbreviations more readable/pertinent, like including most punctuation, but not periods and quotes, and including numeric strings and all capital letters, and ...

Hmmm ... if I abandon including all capital letters, the rest will probably fall together -- that's probably the unicode sticking point ...

After several tweaks, these regexps are probably best rewritten from scratch as they've accumulated redundancies and idiosyncrasies, but sometimes I'm lazy

Maybe I'll focus on redoing my {author_sort}{series}-->{author} plugboard template for the Sony, since someone else might find it useful ...

Thanks!
