title: htaccess Mod_rewrite with accents
body: <p>I have an international website, and a section of the website, used to create a new person, has the person's name in the URL. I need that URL to allow accents as well as some special characters like à</p>
  
  <p>Right now I'm using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule ^([áéíóúñÁÉÍÓÚÑäëïöüÄËÏÖÜçÇA-Za-z-]+)/?$ /newPerson.php?person=$1 [NC,QSA]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>UPDATE:
  This works, but is not a very elegant approach. I am asking for a better way of matching all letters (lower and uppercase) with all possible accents à, á, ä... etc, if there is such a thing.</p>
  
  <p>UPDATE 2:
  There is no apparent way to indicate in a regexp "a character and all its accented versions" so I think I'll stick with this...</p>
