> Using `ispell' with `enchant' on macOS yields the following problem.  If
> a word contains some non-ASCII character, said character will not be
> considered part of the word and will split it (like a digit would).  For
> example in "naïve" both "na" and "ve" are considered two words.  This
> does not happen if I use `aspell' instead of `enchant', and if I run
> 
>   echo -n "naïve" | enchant-2 -a
> 
> it registers that this is one word, and that it is valid (using an
> English dictionary).

> I'm using Enchant version 2.3.1 and an Emacs 29 build from 24 November
> on macOS Catalina.
