note 110599 added to normalizer.normalize

I don't have the normalizer class supported on my shared hosting so I used my word processor to get all those funny characters with "diacritics" and put them into this simple function in order to get a normalized lowercase output: <?php function normalize_utf8_tolower ($s) { // replacements for lower-case ASCII-characters $r = array( 'a' => 'AaÀÁÂÃÅàáâãåĀāĂ㥹ǍǎǺǻ' . 'ẠạẢảẤấẦầẨẩẪẫẬậẮắẰằẲẳẴẵẶặΆ', 'ae' => 'ÄäæÆǼǽ', 'b' => 'bB', 'c' => 'CcÇçĆćĈĉĊċČč', 'd' => 'DdÐĎďĐđ', 'e' => 'EeÈÉÊËèéêëĒēĔĕĖėĘęĚěẸẹẺẻẼẽẾếỀềỂểỄễỆệΈ', 'f' => 'Ffƒ', 'g' => 'GgĜĝĞğĠġĢģ', 'h' => 'HhĤĥĦħΉ', 'i' => 'IiÌÍÎÏìíîïĨĩĪīĬĭĮįİıǏǐỈỉỊịΊΐ', 'ij' => 'IJij', 'j' => 'JjĴĵ', 'k' => 'KkĶķĸ', 'l' => 'LlĹĺĻļĽľĿŀŁł', 'm' => 'Mm', 'n' => 'NnÑñŃńŅņŇňʼn', 'ng' => 'Ŋŋ', 'o' => 'OoÒÓÔÕØòóôõøŌōŎŏŐőƠơǑǒǾǿΌ' .
