Accents not removed in Greek alphabet

> RA.remove( 'φιλε φίλε' )
'φιλε φίλε'

Expected output: φιλε φιλε.

Or at least that's what I expect as an outsider with only some knowledge of Greek.

Good one - the accented Iota is definitely missing. Wanna file a PR? 😅

It appears like a bunch more Greek diacritics exist and are missing. Could be a good addition to the existing supported characters.

I can give it a go at the end of the day, but I think I'll stick to just Modern Greek, which presents a smaller set of combinations to deal with :P

Actually, I just realised that compatibility with WordPress's remove_accents is important, and that function doesn't modify Greek diacritics (cf. source — don't be fooled by the alpha-looking thing, it's part of the Latin set).

So I'll close this one.
