The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 18216 Logged by: Shailesh Totale Email address: shailesh.totale@sailpoint.com PostgreSQL version: 13.8 Operating system: Linux Description: Hello team , PostgreSQL's unaccent module does not use Unicode normalisation, but only a simple search-and-replace dictionary. The dictionary, unaccent.rules (https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/master/contrib/unaccent/unaccent.rules) , does not contain these Japanese characters, thus its unable to remove the diacritic signs. Can someone please guide when we can expect these Japanese characters will be added. Also tried to check with latest versions of Postgresql still the latest version does not have support for the Japanese characters. https://pgpedia.info/u/unaccent.html Thanks, Shailesh
