6 * IMPORTANT: This uses the Unicode "Combining Diacritical Marks" block
7 * (U+0300-U+036F) which specifically targets Latin script diacritics.
8 * Other scripts (Arabic, Hebrew, CJK, Cyrillic) are unaffected.

10 * This is appropriate for English MTG card names which may contain borrowed
11 * diacritics (Jötun, Lim-Dûl, Dandân). If we ever index non-English printings
12 * (using `printed_name`), we'd need to reconsider script handling.
