Allow autocomplete to work with special characters and Asia languages

Hello, We are now using Atlas Search, with a deep dive in this feature, we found out that it will be very cool to support "special characters" (such as @,-) and "Asia languages (such as Chinese)" for autocomplete. I think this is a requirement for many world wide companies. We can't allow a search engine which only cover a part of our clients because our business is with people form the whole world. Thank you in advance,

    This project was completed recently and you can read about it here: https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/atlas-search/autocomplete/ Not only did we add support for most languages that we support, but we also introduced reverseEdgeGram to support languages like Kurdish and Urdu. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

    It will be best if you start supporting other special characters like : à and ³ Consider 1 trying to search for : móvi3
