Thanks for that @sivanathan36
The fix could be as simple as using asciiSafe(title) in the code to do a safe substitution as per a previous PR.

Would you be able to put up and test a PR for that?

@17twenty thanks for your replay. I think this doesn't solve the issue as it would replace the accented characters with an empty space as the characters do not fall inside the ASCII range. Ideally we would like to retain the accented characters.

Hmm... ok, yeah, feel free to put up a PR. I'm just aware that it's required that they're ASCII characters. It's likely coming in as UTF and that's messing it up.

@sivanathan36 I fixed it... mainly as I needed to start using it again. See how you go... wow, 2019!
