Pattern.CANON_EQ

Enables canonical equivalence. Different Unicode encodings of the same character are considered equivalent.

        String regex;
        String text;

        System.out.println("Enter Regular Expression");
        regex = "\u00e9gal";
        pattern = Pattern.compile(regex, Pattern.CANON_EQ);

        int i = 0;
        while(i < input.length){
            text = input[i];
                
            matcher = pattern.matcher(text);

            while (matcher.find()) {
                System.out.print("I found the text " + matcher.group());
                System.out.print(" starting at index " + matcher.start());
                System.out.println(" Ending at index " + matcher.end());
            }
            i++;
        }     
    }
}

Output

Enter Regular Expression
I found the text égal starting at index 0 Ending at index 4
I found the text égal starting at index 0 Ending at index 5
