Question Maybe a bug: French accents in author sort copy method

Hello!

Maybe a bug:

When I add an entry with a French accent in the list author_name_copywords it is not taken in account.

The example:

I want to specify Académie Française (with an accent on Académie) as the author of a book. To have it sorted with "Académie Française" instead of "Française, Académie" I do as usual: I append the entry , 'Académie' to the list named author_name_copywords in the setting Author sort copy method (by using normally the GUI, not directly in the external parameter file). Then I validate (apply) my addition, then I reboot Calibre as it asks for it, then I go to Manage the Authors to recalculate the sort of the key. Problem: It doesn't work (I master the operation, I ususally do it for other entries without any accent).

The reason seems to be only in the presence of an accent in the entry, because if I replace 'Académie' (with an accent) with 'Academie' (without the accent) it works (I would say "of course").
