Emmet and special characters

I found another Emmet issue (after #2488), maybe you can pass this on to RJ TextEd again:

If there’s a special character in the line before an abbreviation, expanding the abbreviation does not work correctly.

How to reproduce: a expands like it should to <a href=""></a> Typing hello a and expanding the “a” works too: hello <a href=""></a> But type hällo a and it is impossible to expand the “a”! The status line says “Cannot find Emmet abbreviation”.

It looks as if every non-standard letter removes one letter from the search string, see these examples: graçias span turns into graçias s<pan></pan> hällö span becomes hällö sp<an></an> ßд®æ span can’t find an abbreviation again.

… after a bit of googling I saw this old issue: https://github.com/emmetio/emmet/issues/439 which seems very much the same. I’ll add this info there, too.
