This page (info "(emacs) Lax Search") says:

  In addition, ‘a’ matches other characters that resemble it, or have it
  as part of their graphical representation, such as U+249C
  PARENTHESIZED LATIN SMALL LETTER A and U+2100 ACCOUNT OF (which looks
  like a small ‘a’ over ‘c’)

Those 2 characters are the ones I tried so I was expecting to make it
work.

Then I don't understand what the manual is saying. Can you please
explain?

By the way, you are doing an amazing job with Emacs! Thank you so much
Eli.
