Searching in Sigil for a text that looked strangely wrong in the e-reader I found the following character that looks like an accented e, but is actually two characters: é
When deleting it backwards, the accented e is not deleted as a single char, as it should be, but first only the accent is deleted.
I have only been able to find this rare accent character by using the wildcard \p{M}
I suppose there may be other variants with a character followed by this strange accent (though not in this epub).
Any suggestions for Find/Replace that could fix a generic case?
Would it be possible to consider adding to Sigil the search (if not fix) for these rare characters that, at least in some cases, do not reproduce well on e-readers?
In any case, thank you very much.
