Accented characters are not working in solr search

Hi, 
This is Praveen. I am using apache-solr in our project to support search on cities. I having a problem with the accented characters while searching. 
For example: 
My city name is 'vrély'. 
if i search for 'vr*', it is giving the result. 
But if i search for 'vrél*', it is not giving any results.  
But if i search without accented characters like 'vre*', it again give results. 
My city field type is "text" and my schema.xml for this as follows: 
        <fieldType name="text" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100">
            <analyzer type="index">
                <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
                
                
                <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true"/>
                <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="1" catenateNumbers="1" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/>
                <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
                <filter class="solr.ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory"/>
                <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" language="English" protected="protwords.txt"/>
            </analyzer>
            <analyzer type="query">
                <tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
                <filter class="solr.SynonymFilterFactory" synonyms="synonyms.txt" ignoreCase="true" expand="true"/>
                <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true"/>
                <filter class="solr.WordDelimiterFilterFactory" generateWordParts="1" generateNumberParts="1" catenateWords="0" catenateNumbers="0" catenateAll="0" splitOnCaseChange="1"/>
                <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
                <filter class="solr.ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory"/>
                <filter class="solr.SnowballPorterFilterFactory" language="English" protected="protwords.txt"/>
            </analyzer>
        </fieldType>
Any suggestions or solution to resolve my problem is appreciable. 
Thanks in Advance...

Just a question : which version of solr do you use?
