      NOTE: This should be tested with mysql and mssql. Currently we do not support accent insensitive text comparisons in postgresql and oracle.

      1. Create several users.
        • make sure their firstname/lastname begins with a non-ASCII character (ex. Édward Johnson, John Öakes, Ían Ñelson).
      2. Create a Course.
      3. Enrol the created Users in the Course.
      4. Go to Course > Course administration > Reports > Course completion (/report/completion/index.php?course=COURSEID).
      5. Filter the users by first name and surname (try multiple variations).
        • make sure the filter works properly and filters out the non-ASCII names.

      Description

      When any participant has a non-ASCII first character in his/her Firstname or Lastname, he/she will be missed when filtering by first letter in his/her Firstname or Lastname. This happens from the Reports section of Course Administration (Course completion and Activity completion), but it works properly when a similar filtering system is applied from "Participants", or viewing attemps in a Quiz, etc.

      In Spain we have some firstnames and lastnames that begins with Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ñ, etc. but also happens with Ö and other non-ASCII characters.
