Characters that are not distinguished when searching for users and groups

kintone.com supports the input of UTF-8 (Unicode) characters.
When you search for users and groups, the following differences are ignored.

  • Capital letters and small letters of the alphabet
  • Hiragana and katakana
  • Full-width katakana and half-width katakana
  • Characters with or without diacritics or accents

The following are examples of diacritical and accent marks.

  • Umlaut (such as German and Swedish)
  • Grave accent (such as Italian and French)
  • Circumflex (such as French and Portuguese)
  • Voiced sound mark and semi-voiced sound mark (Japanese)

Note that half-width katakana with voiced or semi-voiced sound marks are distinguished from full-width hiragana and full-width katakana.
For example, when users with phonetic surname "スズキ" are registered, you cannot find them by searching with "すずき" or "スズキ".
