 standards on the field. However, writing is slightly different than slugs,
 as distinguishing between "a" and "å" might feel needed.

 works just fine. That a change was made just for Danish surprised me a
 bit, but that effectively silenced the discussion.

 For reference, [26585] / #23907 appears to be the related change.

 > There's already a test for this but only for the `remove_accents()`
 function, not that it actually applies those transformations to the name
 of an uploaded file. https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/blob/16b04903feec8216bdd2e6230f4ad511a9238db1/tests/phpunit/tests/formatting/removeAccents.php#L15

 There is a
 [source:tags/5.9.3/tests/phpunit/tests/formatting/sanitizeFileName.php#L23
 test with some of the mentioned characters] for `sanitize_file_name()`
 too, see [48603] / #22363. If that doesn't always work as expected,
 something else might be involved.
