Fuzzy Match in Russian

Hi All, I am working on matching customer names and some are in Russian. I don't believe this counts as a 2 bit character but they are matching at 100% confidence when analyzed and it is giving me lots of false positives. Does anyone know a way to best deal with this or have experience in the past? Thank you!

Hi All, Solved my own issue, I had set it to "Character: Levenshtein Distance" and switched to "Words & Digits: Levenshtein Distance" and this is coming back with much better matching.
