Description

### Description

ScanCode misses the author `Ceki Gülcü` in [slf4j-api/src/main/java/org/slf4j/LoggerFactory.java](https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/blob/4b4d533771e0501ffe1eb5e248e456f285357737/slf4j-api/src/main/java/org/slf4j/LoggerFactory.java). It detects the two other authors correctly, so the `ü` encoded characters seem to be the problem.

### How To Reproduce

Create a file `LoggerFactory.java` with the following content:

```
/**
* The LoggerFactory is a utility class producing Loggers for
* various logging APIs, e.g. logback, reload4j, log4j and JDK 1.4 logging.
* Other implementations such as {@link org.slf4j.helpers.NOPLogger NOPLogger} and
* SimpleLogger are also supported.
*
*

LoggerFactory is essentially a wrapper around an
* {@link ILoggerFactory} instance provided by a {@link SLF4JServiceProvider}.
*
*


* Please note that all methods in LoggerFactory are static.
*
* @author Alexander Dorokhine
* @author Robert Elliot
* @author Ceki Gülcü
*
*/
```

```
$ ./scancode --copyright --json LoggerFactory.json LoggerFactory.java
$ cat LoggerFactory.json | jq
```

```

}
],
"scan_errors": []
}
]
}
```
```
$ cat LoggerFactory.json | jq ".files[].authors"
```

It only finds the following two authors, `Ceki Gülcü` is missing.

```
[
{
"author": "Alexander Dorokhine",
"start_line": 13,
"end_line": 13
},
{
"author": "Robert Elliot",
"start_line": 14,
"end_line": 14
}
]
```

If I modify the file to replace the `ü` with `ü`, the author is detected. Though `ü` has been replaced/normalized to a `u`.

```
{
"author": "Geci Gulcu",
"start_line": 15,
"end_line": 15
}
```

### System configuration

* What OS are you running on? Linux
* What version of scancode-toolkit was used to generate the scan file? `v32.5.0-5-g022ddc859b`
* What installation method was used to install/run scancode? Source
