This is largely from memory, so details might be wrong.
Normalisation is an insufficiently known thing to consider when working
with Unicode. (We all know that Unicode is a list of code points
(integers).
Here are some Unicode points for this discussion:
U+0065 "e" Latin Small Letter E
U+00E9 "é"

I suspected that, too, but I have no expertise in normalization.

Perhaps worth noting that the docs for commonPrefixWithString:options: cover
cases like this:

NSRange is 0-based, so the 16th character is index 15. Also you might want to
use -localizedStandardRangeOfString: instead...

Well, SSIA.
In more detail, I've got two strings:
file_basename = @"Morgendämmerung (1)"
info_item = @"Morgendämmerung"
This code
NSString * prefix = [ info_item commonPrefixWithString: file_basename
options: NSCaseInsensitiveSearch ];
unsigned int prefix_len = (unsigned int) [prefix l
