Some comparison routines convert non-English characters into digraphs (pairs of English characters) whenever these characters are found within a field. For example, the character b appears in the German spelling of street, strabe. That character is converted to the digraph, SS, when encountered in a field name.
The DI modifier converts these non-English characters into the appropriate digraphs:
