Problem/Motivation
Æ
has a few accented variants, these do not get their accents removed because the transliteration component returns AE
and the removeDiacritics method only consider single letter replacements exactly in order to avoid replacing Æ itself with AE while removing diacritics.
Proposed resolution
Map these back. The consequences are minor: searching for Æ will now find Ǣ where previously it wouldn't.
Remaining tasks
Does this need a change notice ?
