In the current version, the anntoconll tool will split a word containing accents into different tokens, isolating the accents as if they were words. When working with european languages such as French, Spanish, etc or even German with the ß this comes to be a problem.
For example, the text "déjà fait" would be split into tokens "d", "é", "j", "à", "fait" instead of "déjà", "fait"
By adding all accents range À-ÿ to the tokenization regex, this tokenization issue doesn't happen anymore.
