Hello again! I've been aware that bif:contains supports only ASCII and ISO Latin letters for a while and since all our current letters are in that range, it has caused a bit of confusion, but has been OK. We do have some requirements to support UTF-8, though, so this might become a problem.
Also, we just noted that this seems painful to work with. This is what we currently do, and I wonder if there is a better way: FILTER regex(str(?label), "^ø", "i") and another with ?lit <bif:contains> """'øye*'""" . The former has to be encoded in UTF-8, whereas the latter in ISO-8859-1. This works, but seems a fragile hack. It seems to do the job for now, but if those two things would happen to be in the same query, different parts of the string would need to be encoded differently, it seems, which would be problematic. Is there a better way to work around these problems?
