Characters outside plain ASCII, such as accented letters, other alphabets or emoji, can now start a word in that step. Before, a word starting with one of them was not matched there.\n\n**Why**\n\nCommands containing non-English text are more likely to be read correctly, which may change how permission checks treat them.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
