I know nothing about Jacobs question, but why should he have to specify ACCENT SENSITIVE? In Danish and Norwegian the alphabet contains 29 characters, and the three mentioned characters are completely separate characters with their own distinctive sound, not accents of other characters - just like lowercase l is very different from uppercase I even though they may look similar or even identical depending on which font you use.

I don't use UTF8 myself, but Jacob could see if LOCALE = no_NO gave a better result, after all, we share the same alphabet.
