#TIL hashtags in #ActivityPub are diacritic agnostic, so #vélo and #velo are the same :)

@mdione But diacritics make them more visually appealing and readable

@richlv yes, this was in the context of me wanting to write HTvélo and Masto offering HTvelo.

Hmmm, I wonder: diacritic... in whose opinion? Anglophones consider Ñ an N with a diacritic. Hispanophones consider Ñ its own distinct letter.
Let me try #español & see what happens

It seems #ActivityPub (or at least #Mastodon ) treats n & ñ the same in hashtags

@klu9 @mdione Diacritic technically is the additional marking.
Often shortened to mean "a character with a diacritic".
Such letters often are considered separate letters on their own (like Latvian āšņūžčēļī etc), but they can still be recognised as "a with a diacritic mark on top of it".As in, yes, agreed, and these concepts are not opposite, they don't contradict one another

Although I've yet to find a computing system that treats J as "just an I with a swash at the bottom".

@richlv @klu9 this makes no sense, but:
* ñ is considered a whole Spanish letter, has it's own name and sound.
* á is not, it's even pronounced just like a, but the diacritic changes where you stress the word.
* ch and ll used to be their own letters (and places in the alphabet), but no more. But they have their own sound. They're spelled as c+h and l+l.So the question was whether č is considered another letter o just a c with a ˇ, even if it has it's own sound; same for ā.
