Hello,

 

What is your query, are you getting any error. None english character are not working with LIKE, for this the workaround is to replace these non english characters wit '-'.

I am querying on Geography Name which is a lookup field. 

The name of the geography contains characters from other languages.

which SOQL is unable to read.

Hello,

 

You'd have to perform a SOSL instead: SOQL doesn't support accent translation. However, SOSL uses a full-text search index that is accent agnostic.

 

 

In SOSL, if you search for "Ltes", "Lteś" will be returned. However if you search for "Lteś", "Ltes" (no accent) will NOT be returned.

Hi,

SOSL Query returns no records.

Please share your query.

Please find the query below:

 

SELECT SLS_ZONE_CD__c, Geo_Level_4__r.Name FROM Geo_to_Zone_Mapping__c WHERE Geo_Level_1__r.Name='kujawsko-pomorskie' AND Geo_Level_2__r.Name='grudziadzki' AND Geo_Level_3__r.Name='Maly Rudnik' AND SLS_ZONE_CD__c='500'

 

while Geo_Level_2__r.Name='grudziądzki' and Geo_Level_3__r.Name='Mały Rudnik' 

 

characters that are mismatching appear in bold.

Hello,

 

This is not SOSL, this is SOQL. In SOSL we use FIND keyword, not SELECT. Please refer following link for examples and better understanding on SOSL query:
