Problem with special charachters in Company name
I'm working on an internal production tool for our company. And for that I need to compare some local files inside the Dropbox folder with the files synced to Dropbox (to at least try to prevent som ...
It sounds like the different strings you're trying to use have different normalization forms, and so they aren't equivalent. You should probably normalize them before comparing them, such as covered here for Node.js. Hope this helps!

Hi, yeah thanks for your answer! Five minutes before leaving work yesterday I stumbled upon the String.prototype.normalize()-function and it very easily solved my problems!
For future reference and to anyone that might stumble upon this:
As I've understood it, while searching through sources, there are two ways to represent charachters such as å, ä, ö and similar in a unicode string. Either as one special charachter (e.g. 'ö' === '\u00f6' in JS) or as a base charachter together with a combining diaeresis (e.g. 'ö' === 'o\u0308' in JS).
In javascript one can use String.prototype.normalize() to compare two strings even if the strings use different solutions to store charachters.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
