Description

Hi,

I'm trying to use metadata to validate addresses which *may* be populated from Autocomplete using the Google Places API. There are some challenging inconsistencies, such as Córdoba, Argentina.

Assuming the reference in this DB is the province (which includes a city by the same name):
https://chromium-i18n.appspot.com/ssl-address/data/AR/Córdoba

Places API and the corresponding JavaScript widget, however, returns a version without the accent on the province name: "Córdoba, Cordoba, Argentina" like here:
https://www.google.com/maps/place/C%C3%B3rdoba,+Cordoba,+Argentina

This is just one example. Has anyone successfully validated addresses returned from Places Autocomplete using this library?

Thanks!
