About Combining Characters
In Unicode, characters with diacritical symbols sometimes might be stored as an ASCII letter and a diacritical symbol, for example: Ä stored as A¨.
To make sure that all your data is stored consistently for filtering, search, and character length checks, normalize the Unicode strings before saving them to the database:
import unicodedata
text = unicodedata.normalize("NFC", text)
