   This is like complaining that a search for "MISS" does not also match   
   "МІЅЅ". They are completely different strings that just happen to look   
   alike with certain font choices. Some of those are "ohm sign", "Latin   
   small letter m", "Latin small letter e", "Latin small letter g", "Latin   
   small letter a" and the others are "Greek capital letter omega",   
   "Latin small letter m", "Latin small letter e", "Latin small letter g",   
   "Latin small letter a".   
      
   Your "difference is only the encoding" fails to grasp that Unicode is   
   semiotics aware, even if users might not be.
