Issue: Hashtags with umlauts and non-latin-chars

  • Hi,

    given a hashtag with “non-characters” in it, the plugin fails to create the right link. For example the german #Flüchtlinge (refugees) will lead to a #Fl hashtag.
    I thought about not filtering the allowed characters (regex: [A-Za-z0-9-_]+) but negate filtering non-allowed characters (regex: [^ !$%^&*+.,:;]+). This works but I can’t oversee all the implications.
    Nevertheless I would like to see a fix for this issue upstream.

    Thanks & Bye
