I have good news for you - text search for non-ascii version of latin characters like ü is a long solved problem. That's because even in non-english speaking countries some people don't bother with diacritics, or they don't have a correct layout at that point, or the text is in source code and has to be ASCII, etc.

You can try that now - my browser highlights Türkiye when I search for Turkiye.

Great! Now do a JOIN in a database with Türkiye in one column and Turkiye in another.

It's a problem with well-known solutions. That's not the same as a solved problem.

It will be a solved problem when processing a log file in /var/log with Python (or any other tool of choice), it works automatically.
